 This appears to fix the oops in isapnp_create_device at boot:

                card->number = csn;
                card->vendor = (header[1] << 8) | header[0];
                card->device = (header[3] << 8) | header[2];

 I noticed another patch that had the INIT_LIST_HEAD lower down in
the same function: it doesn't work because the card->devices list
head is accessed earlier, in isapnp_create_devices, causing the
oops (that's where EIP points in the oops, anyway).
