The fake PCI devices created in the 2.4 zx1 machvec provide PCI-like config space access to the chipset. However, there are some registers in there that have side effects that you don't just want to stumble across. These are all out beyond the configuration header space, so nothing should rely on them. This patch prevents access to the dangerous one that you'd touch looking through /proc/bus/pci. You can probably still shoot yourself in the foot, but you shouldn't be able to do it by reading through the proc files. 2.6 has removed these fake devices, so the patch is not applicable.
