NAME
       pci_request_region_exclusive - Reserved PCI I/O and memory resource

SYNOPSIS
       int pci_request_region_exclusive(struct pci_dev * pdev, int bar, const char * res_name);

ARGUMENTS
       pdev
           PCI device whose resources are to be reserved

       bar
           BAR to be reserved

       res_name
           Name to be associated with resource.

DESCRIPTION
       Mark the PCI region associated with PCI device pdev BR bar as being reserved by owner
       res_name. Do not access any address inside the PCI regions unless this call returns
       successfully.

       Returns 0 on success, or EBUSY on error. A warning message is also printed on failure.

       map the resource via /dev/mem or sysfs.
