This breaks the mpt(4) driver and does not let NetBSD/amd64 boot  
successfully in VMware Fusion.  The machine seems to emulate a  
53C1030 chip, and sys/dev/pci/mpt_pci.c has:
        if ((PCI_PRODUCT(pa->pa_id) == PCI_PRODUCT_SYMBIOS_1030) &&
            (PCI_REVISION(pa->pa_class) < 0x08)) {
                aprint_normal("%s: applying 1030 quirk\n",
                    mpt->sc_dev.dv_xname);
                reg = pci_conf_read(pa->pa_pc, pa->pa_tag, 0x6a);
                reg &= 0x8f;
                pci_conf_write(pa->pa_pc, pa->pa_tag, 0x6a, reg);
        }
Note the 0x6a register value in there, which will trigger the  
assertion you added.  I've been looking around to see if that value  
is correct, but the only thing I found is the Linux code which does  
the same as us (maybe we borrowed the fix from there in the first  
place, or the other way around).
