BTW, I have a driver in the works which uses these functions, and I
wonder how to do it correctly. The problem is that the hardware is a
dual-function PCI card (two DEC Tulip Ethernet controllers) but part of
the first device (EEPROM interface or something like that) is used by
both (there is an FPGA connected there, serving both channels).

This means drivers for dev#0 and dev#1 (both "normal" PCI controllers)
need to register and access part of dev#0 BARs.

How do I do that properly, in terms of PCI API?
