The revision itself is good, but it needs to address these drivers and bring them up to what is, in effect, a modified way for drivers to manage their PCI resources.  If you've been seeing something like the following message since June 24/27, then you need this patch:

In mpt_pci.c, there's a style nit/inconsistency regarding the other
drivers touched by the above patch; if after these fixes, a driver
still fiddles with PCIR_COMMAND, it should be just fine to also OR
in PCIM_CMD_BUSMASTEREN as part of that and to not additionally call
pci_enable_busmaster().
Apart from that, the patch looks good to me.
