Surprise!
It seems this patch has serious WTF style side effects:
- It will cause the onboard ethernet to fail (no MAC address, still
unresponsive even after manually setting the MAC address). Unexplained
PCI config changes are: Cache line size 64->32 bytes, MaxReadReq
4096->512 bytes.
- It will change the PCI subsystem ID of some devices. Surprisingly, the
subsystem IDs are strange without the patch, so this is a fix, but my
earliest successful boots with coreboot were correct as well. Needs to
be investigated further.

How do I dump the PCI config space of all available devices directly
before passing control to the payload?
dump_pci_devices() uses the early PCI functions (device_t is u32) and is
thus not suitable for code compiled with device_t = struct device *.
