Sorry but I'm not sure I can follow what you mean. Why setting BUS_MASTER
in PCI config would fail on real hardware? How and where could a function 
be provided that enables bus mastering? If there's a way to do it by the 
code that configures other parameters I'm fine with that but I don't know 
how that works and what part of that is in C and what is in Forth so I 
cannot provide such function. Or did you mean that after all it can be 
taken as it is now without further changes?
