hmm... don't we have any ISA quirks already? If this device support
PnP there should be descriptor for irq line where you could change it
since I don't believe it would be a first device in kernel which behave
not as supposed and developers has to override some configs bits.
Hope it help (i didn't check ISA code though -- too busy now).
