I had this happen to me too, once, however it turned out to be a 
HW failure. After I commented out this code I ran into other problems.

You may comment out this code for testing, however one should try to 
understand why this code is causing problems.

This should not happen. It can only happen when the Xserver has the
ROM BIOS mapped. Judging from your log that shouldn't happen.
Can you find out where it happens? You can hardcode a test for the
relevant PCI config space register and PCI tag in the appropriate
PciWrite() function and call a function you can breakpoint from gdb.
There are three functions for this purpose: xf86Break1/2/3().
