Accesses to SB800_PIIX4_SMB_IDX can occur from multiple drivers.
Use request_muxed_region() to ensure synchronization.

Which ones? Documenting it, at least in the commit message, would seem
useful. Out of curiosity, have these other drivers been converted to
use request_muxed_region already?

Primarily watchdog, but there is also unprotected initialization code
in several locations.

There are three locations touching the same I/O ports:
the PCI-USB quirks code (still doesn't use locking AFAIK), i2c-piix4 and
the sp5100_tco watchdog drivers.

Best regards,
Zoltán Böszörményi
