Isn't that orthogonal to this problem ?

I can't comment on the merits of the patch (though I am a bit concerned
about its impact and potential source of regressions), but I don't really
understand why it would only apply to request_region() and not to
request_muxed_region(). Is this an oversight or on purpose ?
