There are two controllers and they are packed into one PCI-bar? :( I guess this
needs refactoring of the probe_slot routine then. Just silencing the warning
will just hide the problem.

That wouldn't alarm for 0x10000 or the like, so no gain as well.

Reconsidering: Given the current situation, an error message is maybe not a
that bad idea, until the code can handle two controllers in one bar.
