Are you saying that the PCI layer is again screwed up after all my
hard work several years ago to ensure that PCI devices are properly
setup _before_ they're made available to the PCI drivers then?  That
was around the time I was looking at Cardbus stuff, ensuring that that
worked with the same guarantees.

Not amused.

What is wrong with the "probe devices, apply fixups, setup resources,
apply more fixups, publish" process that it's had to be yet again
broken?
