Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Modify behaviour of request_*muxed_region()

In order to make request_*muxed_region() behave more like mutex_lock(),
a possible failure case needs to be eliminated. When drivers do not
properly share the same I/O region, e.g. one is using request_region()
and the other is using request_muxed_region(), the kernel didn't
warn the user about it. This change modifies IORESOURCE_MUXED behaviour
so it always goes to sleep waiting for the resuorce to be freed
and the inconsistent resource flag usage is logged with KERN_ERR.
