The same happens for OHCI on new Macs. The correct function to use is:

pci_enable_device(dev);

This function will enable the i/o, mem and irqs, and assign them if they
were not assigned for some reason, too.

And you should use it on any PCI device you want to use before using
it, on all architectures. Also check its return value.

This comment is from my experience with the Rocketport driver port to PPC.

pci_enable_device() is a do nothing call in 2.2.x kernels. It is defined
and supposedly working in 2.3.x/2.4.x kernels. On my 7200, hacks to
enabled verious PCI devices are required with 2.2.x kernels.
