It'd be nice if we didn't need to introduce any new API functions for this.
If we could just do:

struct pci_something pci_something_table[] = {
...
{
...
.dont_allocate_io_space = 1,
...
},
...
};

within each driver which wants it.

But I can't think of a suitable per-device-id structure with which we can
do that :(
