Bug#586494: Kernel bisect

[trouble daemon <troubledaemon@gmail.com>]

As requested by Andrew, I did a kernel bisect and tracked the patch
which introduced the problem
due to the following commit from the linux git branch:

$ git bisect bad
f8924e770e048429ae13bfabe1ddad9bf1e64df7 is first bad commit

Seems like the patch adds some sort of ISA related check, but this
seems to break my Dells which
have ISA/EISA. Hope this helps. I have verified that checking out the
patch just before this one works
fine on the machines.

I haven't heard back from Andrew yet, but he mentioned passing it off
to the proper people to look
into it. I will update this post when I hear more.
