In Linux, ISA Plug & Play capabilities are handled in userspace by the "isapnptools". A kernel device driver can ignore PnP issues. Just load yourself as a driver, and either autoprobe or accept I/O, IRQ, DMA settings configured on the modprobe/insmod commandline.
(The only complication that this generates is that your driver must be a loadable module)
