Depends on if the bug were duped too.   I think I found the real
problem anyway, and it wasn't directly eisaconf's fault.
Update_intr_masks() was broken in stable or its behavior changed
in current, so that when the code was ported back to stable, it
wasn't properly registering its interrupt.

I think that using anything other than eisaconf for devices that
look and behave like EISA devices is a waste of code and a cludge.
Forcing the 2842 to use our ISA registration routines is certainly
not a better alternative.
