Lee, please note that legacy (ISA/LPC, even PnP/ACPI controlled) hw does
not ever appear in /proc/ioports without the driver loaded and having
done a request_region().

By the way, the missing IRQ is not necesarily a problem. An MPU401 can
output MIDI fine without using an IRQ and if his BIOS does not let him
assign an IRQ (and Windows does not use one) I guess no IRQ is available
for it.
