PCI is getting initialized before the old ISA probing code, so on mixed
ISA/PCI systems a PCI card will get eth0 before the ISA probing starts.
Then when the first ISA card is probed it will (unsuccessfully) try and claim
eth0.
This fixes it by just having the ISA code skip eth0. It relies on the
convention
that if the ioaddr is one, the device should be skipped.

Is this patch still needed?
