The newbus routines use a certain amount of overhead, but once done, you
forget about it. In some device drivers, the probe methods often need to
try a variety of hardware ports. In the past, inb/outb was used, along with
an often hardcoded port address.
Does it make sense to call bus_allocate_resource for every hardware port we
probe? What is the best way to handle this so NO inb/out is used, even for
probing?
