Minimal approach: Register motherboard EISA ID (i.e. slot zero) ports in
/proc/ioports. Works on all kernel versions. See $0.02 patch below.
This is probably the least intrusive way to get what you want. It doesn't
add Yet Another Proc File, and costs zero bloat to the 99.9% of us who
have a better chance of meeting Aunt Tillie than an EISA box.
Possible alternative: Create something like /proc/bus/eisa/devices which
lists the EISA ID (e.g. abc0123) found in each EISA slot. This might
have been worthwhile some 8 years ago, but now? ....
