There's no disabled flag. If you have PNP OS set to yes in your BIOS, it is
free to leave any devices not needed for booting unconfigured (like printer
ports, serial ports, etc.) and there is no way for the OS to know if the BIOS
didn't alloc resources because it is disabled or because the BIOS was just
lazy.
