... assuming that magic exists, which would follow from the original
assumptions

Simple: driver is broken.  And "obvious" transformations of that sort are
safe only when they are applied to correct code.  Otherwise you end up with
obfuscation of original breakage.

Trivial check of history shows that
	a) until 2.5.1-pre1 isp16_init() had been called from blk_dev_init()
	b) in 2.5.1-pre2 Jens had taken that call out, but forgot to remove
ifdef in isp16.c
	c) nobody had cared since then.

Fix follows.
