I don't think that this is entirely the right solution. In ixgbe we have a separate pointer, io_addr, used to manage the resource, so that the space can be freed even after hw_addr is cleared. With the approach above, the pci_iounmap will not ever be called on the space. You can see how ixgbe is doing it.
