Jeff observed a problem with sky2 driver where if pci_request_regions
failed, the probe code would disable the device. Since if request_regions
fails, this means another device is conflicting, disabling the device
seems to be the wrong.

This problem seems to occur in almost all PCI drivers I look at:
  8139cp, amd8111e, b44, bnx2, dl2k, e100, epic100
  forcedeth, r8169, rrunner, s2io, saa9730, skge, tg3,
  typhoon, via-velocity, sk98lin, olympic, tulip(s)
  dscc4, farsync, pci200syn, wanxl, orinoco

Is it worth fixing all those? How about a kernel janitor task?
