No. Your idea is very similar to the idea of previous version of my patche
which had a bug. The problem is that it doesn't work if pci_request_regions()
is called before pci_enable_device*() (This is the correct order, though so
many drivers breaks this rule).


Doesn't matter.  Drivers not using pci_enable_device_noioport should be
unaffect.  Any any driver you convert should be fixed to do thing in
the right order.



I mean the right order is

   (1) pci_request_regions()
   (2) pci_enable_device*()

So there are no chance to set the flag for pci_request_regions() to
know which regions should be requested.
