Presumably this last should be `while (tryagain)'.  This is
essentially what we do in BSD/OS for *'ed PCI (and EISA?) devices.
The isaprobe code is the best place for it, because you know that
you just now matched a *'ed entry, and that *'ed entries are there
to match more than once; and because, this way, there is only one
copy of the `try again' code.
