Right now, one can hack isa_find_irq() to restrict which interrupts it
checks. I have been thinking about using a loader environment variable for
this. One existing problem is that a pci device which doesn't match a
driver does not reserve its irq resource. Fixing that still leaves the
case of an unknown non-pnp isa device though.
