Uh, OK :)  I can't figure out exactly what the problem is here -- I
don't know where to look if I wanted to fix the scan handler ordering
issues, and I don't know how I could tell if it would ever be safe to
move this from driver probe-time back to device add-time.

I also notice that x86 and ia64 call acpi_pci_irq_enable() even later,
when the driver *enables* the device.  Is there a reason you didn't do
it at the same time as x86 and ia64?  This is another of those pcibios
hooks that really don't do anything arch-specific, so I can imagine
refactoring this somehow, someday.

Did we have this conversation before?  It seems vaguely familiar, so I
apologize if you already explained this once.
