Not the ix0 driver, it was ie0 vs ep0 that the order changed on, I still
don't know if there is a problem with some one possible smashing
the ix0 driver by hitting port 0x100 as the Intel docs don't say anything
about a port there.  Also the ix0 probe is a readonly probe until it
finds what is called the BART chip signature value which involves a
complicated read sequence from 1 port.  Not very likely to screw up
another board doing 4 inb's to board I/O address + 0xF.

But I don't like seat belts :-) :-) :-)
