Your patch looks reasonable to me.

I don't have a machine that exhibits the original problem, so
I can't actually test this patch either.  As long as the fixup
happens before any PCI drivers claim devices, I think it should
be fine.

I copied Nils Rennebarth, who originally reported the bug:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5918
in case he can test your patch.
