    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
