Instead of the expected value of 0x55, 0xAA at the start of the ROM
size decode in pci_get_rom_size(), the first two readb() calls both
return either 0xFF or 0x00 so the size check fails right away.

The two cards with x86 firmware return 0xFF for those two readb()
instructions, while the X1900 with OF returns 0x00 for the readb().

Could one of the more knowledgeable folk for PPC intricacies suggest why
those readb calls are returning the wrong data?
