Does this fix an actual problem?  If so, I'd like to see details about
what the problem is.

I'm a bit concerned about turning off IO/MEMORY/MASTER unconditionally
because we have code that is a bit careful to avoid that in some
cases.  Search for "mmio_always_on" and see commit 253d2e549818 ("PCI:
disable mmio during bar sizing").

So if this patch fixes a problem, all well and good, but we do need to
make sure we don't introduce another problem at the same time.
