Hmmm...what's the failure mode here?  And if it doesn't work this way, 
then how's it ever suppossed to work on the non-PCI controllers both of 
our modules support since last I knew, you never get called by the pci hot 
plug core on non-PCI controllers so the lockout method between our drivers 
can *not* be pci specific and still work in all cases.  The request_region 
stuff always was and still is the only truly generic io space protection 
mechanism that works on all devices on all busses.
