as a general thing I like where this patch is going

would be nice the "reg > 256 && raw_pci_Ext_ops==NULL" case would just
call the raw_pci_ops-> pointer, to give that a chance of refusal
(but I guess that shouldn't really happen)

	couldn't this (at least in some next patch) use the vector if it exists?

why set BOTH vectors? you probably ONLY want to set the ext one, so 
that calls to the lower 256 go to the original
