Well, you could use "pci_enable_device_bars(0)" instead.

That will set up interrupt routing _without_ enabling any BAR's, however, 
that's probably crazy too, since that means that if an interrupt happens, 
you're really really screwed and can't do anything about it. So that's 
probably even more broken than what you do now.

How about delaying the "pci_enable_device()" until when you actually need 
it, ie do it in drm_irq_install() instead?

Of course, I wonder how you could POST the device without having the BAR's 
enabled, and I sure as hell wouldn't want the POST sequence to decide 
where to put them, since it has no clue what is allocated..

Sounds like X is being really bogus again.
