While I agree that using the PCI interface is preferable, I can't see
how this can make a functional difference: __pci_request_region()
calls request_region() for the port resource and
__request_mem_region() for the mmio one exactly like what was
open coded before (request_mem_region() being equivalent to
__request_mem_region(..., 0), so I don't follow how this fixes
anything but half of the potentially incorrect use of "long" for
mmio_addr.

I'm mainly asking because if it really addresses some problem,
then unmodified_drivers/linux-2.6/platform-pci/platform-pci.c
in -unstable should probably get updated too.
