This message says we're enabling bus mastering for a PCIe Root Port,
which I think is the expected behavior and shouldn't cause trouble for
your device (correct me if I'm wrong).
I don't know the system topology, but I'm guessing the k7 device is
below that Root Port. We might be enabling bus mastering for the k7
device, too, but that's not what this message is about, and we'd have
to look at the k7 command register to know for sure whether we did
anything to it.

I'll look at this more closely, in 3.12.14 in particular (I was
looking at 3.14 before). Can you collect "lspci -vv" output for one
or both of these systems (the whole system, not just the device in
question)?
Maybe you could read the PCI command register after the
pci_enable_device() and verify that bus mastering is actually being
enabled when you didn't expect it?
