I checked the datasheet and the register byte at 0x38, after ChipCmd,
is undocumented. iPXE is being weird, I don't see the reason for the
inw().

You can simply drop the masking since
rtl8139_ioport_readw()/rtl8139_mmio_readw() already do addr & 0xFF.
Same applies for the other hunks in this patch.
