The fact that we traverse the whole hierarchy here to restore
PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY makes me suspect there's a window between point A
(where we clear PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY and update a BAR) and point B
(where we restore PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY) where VGA console output will
not work.

This tickles my memory like we might have talked about this before and
there's some reason for having to wait.  If so, sorry, and maybe we
need a comment in the code about that reason.
