I am not so sure. The Acer superio needed at least two passes, one before pci scan and one after, the reason being that certain resources were not visible on PCI unless and enable was set, then the device got scanned, then some post-scan fixup got done.
Same as VIA for enabling ethernet and IDE's compatible mode.
For a number of these case forcing the device into the table of devices present can help a lot.
