I _think_ that this should go in the alpha PCI MD code.  The alpha
isn't the only case we have run across where the ROM gets us almost
as far as we need to get, but the ROMs all seem to be a little
different in where they're deficient.  Unless this is a common
problem (and I don't think it is), I think it should stay MD.

FWIW, I've been meaning to go back with the PCI spec and look at
the latency calcualtions in pciconf.c again.  I think I had the
wrong idea of how it should work at the time.
