I don't see why it wouldn't work, AFAIU you just register a callback
that deregisters the interrupts again.

This series here, though, stems from me trying to clean up drivers in
DRM. That's when I discovered that regions / IO-mappings (which I need)
are broken.

Adding further stuff to pci/devres.c is no problem at all and
independent from this series; one just has to add the code and call the
appropriate devm_ functions.

OK. They also use pcim_iomap_table() and stuff. I think we should
inform about the deprecation.

I don't have a user for IRQ at hand for my DRM work right now. I'd try
to upstream new infrastructure we need there as I did for vboxvideo.
