check_region question

Hi
compiling a new 2.6.7 I got drivers/ide/pci/trm290.c:376: warning: check_region' is deprecated drivers/char/specialix.c:290: warning: check_region' is deprecated

So I searched and found (see the end of the email) a lot of places where that call occours.
I guess this is not (always) a "search/replace" task so my question is

(a)
if a call like
check_region(s, n)
should be replaced with
request_region(s, n, name)
(where name is something like hwif->name)
and
(b)
if an if statement like
if (check_region(s, n))
should be replaced with
if (!request_region(s, n, name))
is there something more than ((a) + (b)) to convert a deprecated section of code?

I found some old patches which should be good examples but I don't know this topic enough to make a general theory.

Thanks.
