Then doing this for a small set of devices where it is tested and
doesn't hurt seems ok, until there's a set of kernel fixes available.

The way LinuxBIOS handles pci "initialization drivers" seems like the
cleanest solution. It's still kind of a workaround, but at least it is
not hacked somewhere into the code, but added in as a module
