OF will not enable memory space if there's no OF boot code on the board.
I beleive it doesn the same with IO space (but I didn't check). The lack
of PCI_COMMAND_INVALIDATE can be considered as an OF bug if the card
already has PCI_COMMAND_MASTER set as a default. I think the kernel
should add this to all devices at fixup time. (It should be harmless for
non-master devices anyway).
