request_mem_region was failing, the requested region appeared to
conflict with the top level "PCI mem" resource. I don't know why and I
didn't investigate deeper because using the pci_* interfaces is correct
in its own right.

The old way was correct circa 2.6.37-rc5 but broken in 2.6.37 final,
there were a bunch of (reverts of) PCI resource changes in that window,
If I had to make a guess I'd say it was something in there which did it.

Hmm yes, that should probably have a better type, although we probably
know it's going to be <4G. Can you spin a patch please?

Assuming the pci_* interfaces exist back as far as we care about for
those drivers then I don't see why not to apply it.
