This feels really unsafe to me. Just because Linux ignores the device
doesn't mean the device will ignore I/O requests. I think we should
call this pci.disable_dev and clear the device's I/O Space Enable,
Memory Space Enable and Bus Master Enable bits (in the Command register,
config space offset 4).
