Is it worth the effort. Why not just let the old isa stuff live out its
life in peace ? There is certainly no reason we couldnt make it more
driver model like by splitting probe and activity

ie ne2000 probing would do

poke around for ISA device
Found one ?
Alloc isadevice
Fill in ports/range/irq
Fill in vendor/product with invented idents
Announce it

Then have ne2000 driver model code do the actual setup
