No, you want -ENODEV as this can only happen if acpi is enabled, and you
are on an kernel without acpi.

But, that can not happen, as if CONFIG_ACPI is not set, then
acpi_disabled is always set to 1, and then this can never be called.

So I don't see why this needs to be changed at all.

Return 0 for empty body register function normally.

v4 --> v5 : resolve kbuild issue: handle all typo "drvier/driver" 
in funtion name. 

v3 --> v4 : use pcim* function instead of pci* function.
handle typo "drvier/driver" in funtion name. 

v2 --> v3 : resolve kbuild issue : a uninitialized variable in some path.

v2 --> v1 : resolve kbuild issue : arch=sh don't support pci, adjust
CONFIG_PCI macro. 

v1 : QEMU community requires additional PCI devices to simulate PVPANIC devices
so that some architectures can not occupy precious less than 4G of memory 
space.
