Isn't it true that request_resource() only tells us that at a given
point in time, no other drivers have reserved that resource?  It seems
like it does not guarantee that the resource isn't routed to another
device or that another driver won't at some point attempt to request
that same resource.  So for example if a user constructs their initrd
to bind vfio-pci to devices before other modules load, this
request_resource() may succeed, at the expense of drivers loaded later
now failing.  The behavior will depend on driver load order and we're
not actually insuring that the overflow resource is unused, just that
we got it first.  Can we do better?  Am I missing something that
prevents this?  Thanks,

Alex
