That's a useful high level abstraction of what's happening. However,
it isn't completely accurate either.

Not entirely. There are ISA devices in devices.hints that aren't plug
and play and aren't in the PnP BIOS list. That's a worse problem than
the minor printf :-).

Yes. Yes. :-)
What we'd like to happen:
PnP BIOS devices
device.hints
PnP ISA devices
What we do now
device.hints
PnP BIOS devices
PnP ISA devices
Note, I tried making the simple changes to make this work, but it
failed in subtle ways that I didn't have time to trackdown...
