    check_region() is deprecated because it is racy.
    Replacing it with request_region in probe:

    int probe() {
            if(!request_region(...))
                    return 0;
            /* probe */
            release_region(...);
    }

    int init() {
            request_region(...);
    }

    only removes 'deprecated' warning. Race remains.
