I suppose the problem is that pci_scan_bridge() writes 0xffff to the
PCI_STATUS register?

PCI_STATUS is documented as containing either RO or RW1C
(write-1-to-clear status) bits, so it makes sense to write all ones to
clear all status bits.  But there are other RO bits that I think you
should mask out, too: Interrupt Status, Capabilities List, etc.

Maybe if you fix this, it will also fix the Capability List issue you
saw in patch 3/4.
