This order is still slightly wrong. You need to do:
0. Disable ALL PnP devices which can be disabled.
1. PnP devices (of any kind) which cannot be disabled, or which only
have a single configuration. These devices which cannot be disabled
need a placeholder attached to them if a driver doesn't claim them,
or some other mechanism so that their resources are never used.
2. Sensitive hinted ISA devices.
3. Other ISA devices.
4. Other PnP devices.
