The programming interface.

http://t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/project/d1510r1-Host-Adapter.pdf

explains it all.

The only other gotcha is that if you want to change the class bits to
indicate the device is in legacy mode you must do that in an "early"
fixup so that it occurs before pci_setup_device makes decisions based
upon the programming interface.
