When it comes down to it, these ACPI / PNPBIOS enumerated devices are
ISA devices anyway.
No, they are made compatible of course, but the logical structures
within current chipsets are different. There is no address aliasing
anymore. And the devices don't go away if you disable the PCI-ISA
bridge. (Actually, the bridge's io/mem space enable bits are read only
on my box.) So having these devices attached to acpi (or whatever
virtual mainbus) reflects reality better than having them on isa.
