Is it worth the effort. Why not just let the old isa stuff live out its
life in peace ? There is certainly no reason we couldnt make it more
driver model like by splitting probe and activity

ie ne2000 probing would do

        poke around for ISA device
        Found one ?
                Alloc isadevice
                Fill in ports/range/irq
                Fill in vendor/product with invented idents
                Announce it

Then have ne2000 driver model code do the actual setup
