In the change to get rid of the list of ISA devices to programmatic probing
of old devices, a behaviour change was introduced which might cause problems.

Before, it was possible to specify a parameter on the boot line for a second
device and skip the first, as in:
        netdev=4,0x280,0,0,eth1
Well, now we stop after eth0 if we don't find it..
Somebody, might depend on the old behaviour, so this patch restores it..
