Hi, I wonder why acpi doesn't use request_region/request_mem_region on the resource used by the interpreter. For example ioport resource are declared in dsdt with OperationRegion. A good place to do that could be acpi_os_validate_address. I believe by doing that acpi will avoid that other drivers try to use the same r esource. And it will avoid the acpi_check_region hack that need to be added in e ach driver instead of relying with the standard request_region/request_mem_region mecanism.
