Prevent PCI config reads of Symbios controller that produce parity errors

A discussion of this problem can be found here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110048286400004&r=1&w=2
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.hal/2456
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1852

The quick summary is that some tools perform PCI config reads to addresses
that are really meant to be internal to the Symbios controller.

My system has a Tekram DC-390U2W (SYM53C895) that gives a scsi parity
error coincident with haldaemon starting.  If I prevent haldaemon from starting,
the parity error does not occur.  The kernel is 2.6.9-34.EL from CentOS.

The attachment I submitted fixes the problem for me.
