Does NetBSD have a "pci fixups" feature like Linux does? That's the way we're
doing it on Linux.. it's required for a hell of a lot of devices on a hell of
a lot of PCs which are misconfigured in the BIOS or have buggy chips - just a
few little tweaks here and there before drivers attach.

You can at least do this stuff from the firmware - it's real easy since you
know how you did configuration access through the northbridge, just use c/w/l@
and c/w/l! as you see fit. Fixing the class-code property is just as easy..
