Oh, pci_set_word() is certainly an improvement.  Personally, I prefer 
passing the PCIDevice as a context and adding individual accessors but 
anything is better than open coded config.

It's on my radar but I've got another PCI series in flight.  I've got a 
branch pci-cleanup on staging that's a work in progress for adding a 
proper region API along with PCI memory accessors.

Once I find a little more time to finish converting VGA devices, I'll post.
