We currently only call pci_enable_device() and pci_disable_device() from drivers, and I think that's a nice division that's worth keeping. It keeps the core's mitts off device operation and helps preserve the enable_cnt integrity. So I like this change from that perspective.
Any objections to this, Khalid?
