This patchset is loosely based on earlier work by BALATON Zoltan <balaton at eik.bme.hu> 
and provides basic infrastructure to allow OpenBIOS to enable PCI device
bus mastering.

Following on from discussions on the QEMU mailing list, it seems that Apple's OF
enables bus mastering for some PCI devices by default, and as a result some buggy
drivers forget to explicitly enable it and hence these devices fail under QEMU's
emulation.

The first 3 patches add the basic support routines while the last 2 patches enable
bus mastering for the rtl8139 card on Apple PPC machines which is required for 
OS X and MorphOS.

Mark Cave-Ayland (5):
  pci: introduce ob_pci_enable_bus_master() function
  pci: introduce ob_pci_is_bus_master_capable() function
  pci: add PCI database entry for rtl8139 network card
  pci: add rtl8139_config_cb() to configure rtl8139 network cards
  ppc: mark PCI slots 0-2 for Apple PPC machies as bus master capable
