Huh. Why aren't these FIXUPs on by default already?
My laptop needs the bus fixup, and apparently a significant
number of machines need the fix for BIOSes that don't touch
the CSR in the right way.

Complete reversion of this pullup has been requested.
I've removed the code that touches these bits of the
CSR in 1.135.
