Thinking about this I'm not sure we have no leftovers that are doing
the hide-unhide dance on their own, behind p2sb_bar()'s back. But
the idea is that all drivers that need this functionality in the kernel
have to work through p2sb_bar() entry point. If any problem is found
in the future with that, those will need to be fixed separately.
