As I keep trying to explain to people, that's why there : *is* a separate activate function (or one of the reasons, anyway). Yes. There's lots of cool things that one can do with this. I know that the pccard code, both old and new, deferrs the actual programming of the bridge until a resource is activated (except for IRQ, which it further deferrs until the interrupt handler is setup).
