Not sure you want to be using resources as the basic currency, nor do you
want your generic code doing the request_region stuff. That was a nasty
mistake we made in the IDE code.

Maybe the platform code should do that bit, but the generic stuff not - in
the PCI case the caller will have done pci_request_* itself and chances
are several of the resources are the same pci device resource and
different offsets so doing request_resource on them will blow up.

Concept looks good
