The old pnp code is fundamentally incompatable with the new pnp code and
has gone.  Doug's new pnp code is tightly integrated within the isa bus and
is rather smart.  It will choose it's own non-conflicting addresses for the
devices.   There isn't much use for the userconfig pnp command as the pnp
devices are deactivated during the ISA probes and only switched on when a
device claims them, based on their PNP id.  Basically this means we've got
to pay a lot more attention to the PNP id and compat id's now.

Cheers,
