Many of the PNP strings are for motherboard resources that have been
in the same place forever and you're unlikely to want to change, like
the system clock, interrupt controller, ISA DMA controller, and so
on. It's sort of useful for the firmware to admit that they exist, but
they're not very interesting to document :)
