Please, correct some mistakes:
- old ISA PnP code does not require user space tools, too - the new code is mostly based on idea to make behaviour same as for PCI devices (probe, remove etc. callbacks) and to merge the PnP BIOS access code - maintaince? the code was nearly complete, almost all device drivers were converted to support ISA PnP (thus autoconfiguration which has moved to the new PnP layer); I don't know what you mean that the code is more actively maintained; it was maintained to satisfy my goals
