I'm not sure about nothing less. It is possible that there are
some registers here that we don't need to touch.

Nothing more, I am pretty sure.

We must not touch anything that OS might have changed,
or there will be a conflict.
This is why we don't touch interrupt registers and
BARs - OS can change these and it must put them back exactly the way
they were, if we enable some BARs there will be a conflict.

Interesting. Why won't it?

You decide :)

IMO this is definitely not enough. E.g. I'm pretty sure we should set the IO
address before we enable IO.
