The current system avoids skipping numbers where the old one would skip entries where you had provided isa probe hints, but there wasn't a card there. I believe there was some talk about changing things so device hints mean something like, "if there is a device matching these parameters use this entry, otherwise, don't." This would allow things like wiring devices to slots on PCI. It is possiably I misunderstood the proposal and it certaintly won't make it into 4.0. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
