That's what's happening unfortunately.

We end up probing twice (both fails):

(1)

->ide_scan_pcidev()
  ->d->probe()
     ->cmd64x_init_one()
       ->ide_pci_init_one()
         ->ide_pci_init_two()
           [...]
           -> ide_host_register() !! Fails in hwif_init(), no IRQ

(2) ->pci_device_probe()
     ->cmd64x_init_one()
       ->ide_pci_init_one()
         ->ide_pci_init_two()
	   [...]
	   -> ide_pci_enable() !! Fails with -EBUSY,
	   pci_request_selected_regions() can't reserve already reserved
	   regions (ie step (1) did not unwind resource reservation)

That's my reading and patch patch below fixes it and given that
IDE created its own PCI bus probing layer may be a more appropriate
kludge than forcing us to move pci_assign_irq() to pci_device_add()
for all PCI devices, please let me know what's your preferred solution.

With fix below (1) still tries to re-probe cmd64x through
pci_device_probe() but the device has already a driver attached
to it so second probe stops before calling the cmd64x probe routine.

I hope Guenter can give it a go too to confirm my findings.
