That would be good.  I'm also having similer idea that loading kernel
loadable module for legacy non-PnP devices specifying thier resources, like;

load pcm
load sbc port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15

Or, null driver module maybe just enough to hold resources;
load resourceholder port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1
load resourceholder port drq 5

# BTW, it seems that the discussion is away from ep driver and -stable already :)
# Should we move to somewhere?
