Ah, right, I forgot about that.  I didn't do enough digging :)

After this patch, the only thing we OR into a ROM BAR value is
PCI_ROM_ADDRESS_ENABLE, and that's done below, only if the ROM is
already enabled.

I did update the ROM mask (to PCI_ROM_ADDRESS_MASK).  I'm not 100%
sure about doing that -- it follows the spec, but it is a change from
what we've been doing before.  I guess it should be safe because it
means we're checking fewer bits than before (only the top 21 bits for
ROMs, where we used check the top 28), so the only possible difference
is that we might not warn about "error updating" in some case where we
used to.

I'm not really sure about the value of the "error updating" checks to
begin with, though I guess it does help us find broken devices that
put non-BARs where BARs are supposed to be.
