>Description:
The GENERIC kernel warns that if isapnp com and lpt ports are
defined, the isa versions of those should be changed to com*
and lpt*. The same applies to enabling acpi versions of
those devices. The comments should be carried over or made more
general.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build a kernel with, say 'com* at acpi?', and boot. Watch
your serial ports be assigned to com3, com4, etc.
>Fix:
See above.
