Subject: [PATCH] Document pci_disable_device()
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2004 14:26:29 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200408031426.29228.bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> (raw)

Add documentation for pci_disable_device().  We don't actually
deallocate IRQ resources in pci_disable_device() yet, but I suspect
we'll need to do so soon.
