These are different namespaces. (Well, the term "PNP-ID" is used
as if there was a standard, but the mechanisms behind it are
completely unrelated.) So I'd consider it dangerous to assume
a consistent naming scheme. (which is similar to EISA-IDs and
pnpbios IDs too...)
Actually, the filename "dev/isa/isadevs" does not reflect
the fact that it is just an ID as appearing in ACPI tables,
nothing more.

best regards
Matthias
