I think that might be very hard to do that.
While some (bogus) BIOSes set the maps to be all f's for devices they
have disabled, many devices default to this value on power up. Since
we have to perform lazy resource assignment for these devices, it may
be difficult to differentiate between the unassigned case and the
disabled case. Is there something I'm missing as to how we can tell
the difference between these two cases?
