Although the PCI Status register only contains read-only and
write-1-to-clear bits, we currently keep anything written there, which
can confuse a guest.

The problem was highlighted by recent Linux commit 6cd514e58f12 ("PCI:
Clear PCI_STATUS when setting up device"), which unconditionally writes
0xffff to the Status register in order to clear pending errors. Then the
EDAC driver sees the parity status bits set and attempts to clear them
by writing 0xc100, which in turn clears the Capabilities List bit.
Later on, when the virtio-pci driver starts probing, it assumes due to
missing capabilities that the device is using the legacy transport, and
fails to setup the device because of mismatched protocol.

Filter writes to the config space, keeping only those to writable
fields. Tighten the access size check while we're at it, to prevent
overflow. This is only a small step in the right direction, not a
foolproof solution, because a guest could still write both Command and
Status registers using a single 32-bit write. More work is needed for:
* Supporting arbitrary sized writes.
* Sanitizing accesses to capabilities, which are device-specific.
* Fine-grained filtering of the Command register, where only some bits
   are writable.

Also remove the old hack that filtered accesses. It was wrong and not
properly explained in the git history, but whatever it was guarding
against should be prevented by these new checks.

Note that the issue described here only shows up during ACPI boot for
me, because edac_init() happens after PCI enumeration. With DT boot,
edac_pci_clear_parity_errors() runs earlier and doesn't find any device.
