I doubt anybody understands it. It is just lots of hard earned ad-hoc
experience distilled in these files.
It's basically untestable/unknown because you'll likely have a hard time
to find such a card anymore. And even if you had you would need the other
ISA cards that could possible conflicts to test all combinations - impossible
task. For such unsolvable problems it is best to leave it untouched because it
cannot be tested. Either that or remove the driver completely.
