The PCI Specification states, in part, that either the BIOS or the
driver has to enable the device. So, many drivers find that the device
has not been enabled. This is normal and necessary because many/most
PCI hardware had better not be enabled until an ISR is in-place.
So, the only safe place you can enable the device is in the driver.
It is normal and the printk()'s warning about this should be removed.
Also, the PCI_COMMAND should probably be 0x07 for all devices. The
ones that "stay" are the ones actually supported.
