    No the old driver doesn't even do that. It starts up. It spuriously
    adjusts some non writable PCI BAR registers, prints a message about
    resources being in use already then exits.

    I had a poke around the setup. As far as I can observe we break even if
    the ROM timing values are used as is. I suspect documentation or a good
    deal of luck is needed.
