Yes. I didn't do that conversion because I don't have ISA hardware and I 
don't understand ISA probing.

The present patch set doesn't seek to resurrect the ISA drivers. But I am 
trying to avoid regressions.

I have mixed feelings about the ISA drivers. ISA DMA support complicates 
things (it was never completed) and DMA seems to be the main obstacle to 
merging the two core driver forks.
