Or maybe this rephrase helps:

Regardless of how the IDE quirks have configured the PCI BARs, libata is written to assume that /all/ struct pci_dev resources for a single PCI device are reserved to the libata driver.

Thus, if you avoid calling pci_request_regions (as your patch does), you must manually provide the same guarantees that pci_request_regions provides to its callers.
