This looks like two patches; could they be separated?

  - Convert __pci_request_region() etc to the new pcim model

  - Add pcim_request_region_exclusive()

IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE was added by e8de1481fd71 ("resource: allow MMIO
exclusivity for device drivers") in 2008 to help debug an e1000e
problem.  In the 16 years since, there's only been one new PCI-related
use (ne_pci_probe()), and we don't add a user of
pcim_request_region_exclusive() in this series, so I would defer it
until somebody wants it.
