Hmm, well I was testing it with a new type of UPS so I may have it confused in 
my head.
Certainly my more recent testing didn't show anything up.. I am just paranoid 
as it's about to get shipped to the Antarctic :)

Hmm OK..
I would prefer to boot with ACPI anyway.

Well you can probably get a PCI<->ISA bridge and a passive backplane ;)

I think a better option would be to remove the test in sio.c for the AMD64 
case since isa_irq_pending() won't do anything.
