I was looking at this the other day, trying to work out how to
differentiate easily between things that we _know_ are in a single,
immovable place (eg. most of the stuff that we see from the PnP BIOS),
things that "might" be there, and things that are there and can be
shuffled around.
Basically we need a way of sorting the ISA bus children in a more
sophisticated fashion that the isa_probe_children code currently does.
