That disappearance trick only works only with geode right now and needs disable_vpci or somesuch set in the dts. I had a patch which allowed you to use "hidden" as a property in the dts. I can dig it up if you want.
there has been hardware in the past -- in v1 days in particular -- wherein a bit set in function 0 made another function disappear -- not visible in config space. It really happens ...
Yes, the "works only in geode right now" was about us having only geode-specific code for disabling devices.
My ICH4 laptop can hide the SMBus device as well. Later ICH can probably do the same.
