Wouldnt a better sequence be something like: > + console_base_addr = ioport__register(&virtio_console_io_ops, IOPORT_SIZE); > > + virtio_console_pci_device.bar[0] = console_base_addr | PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_IO; > + cdev.base_addr = console_base_addr; > pci__register(&virtio_console_pci_device, dev); I.e. first register the ioport range - this would also get a free range for you, and then register the PCI driver? Or something even more compact could be done i suspect - all of the drivers seem to be using the same registration sequence.
