Bus mastering is typically enabled by the driver.
E.g. under linux:

static int virtio_pci_restore(struct device *dev)
{
        struct pci_dev *pci_dev = to_pci_dev(dev);
        struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev = pci_get_drvdata(pci_dev);
        int ret;

        ret = pci_enable_device(pci_dev);
        if (ret)
                return ret;

        pci_set_master(pci_dev);
        return virtio_device_restore(&vp_dev->vdev);
}


As an exception, in case of BIOS booting using device ROM, it is set by
the ROM. E.g. src/hw/virtio-pci.c:

    vp_reset(vp);
    pci_enable_busmaster(pci);
    vp_set_status(vp, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_ACKNOWLEDGE |
                  VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER );
