Hi,

I would like also that the kernel locks IO regions which
are known to be used by the graphic card (io request,
cat /proc/ioport), not only VGA ones.
That would help people configuring their systems, once
I had a problem with "standart COM7" and the video clock
of my card (IO area only locked when running X)...

My $0.02
