The naming is really bad. This as nothing to do with acpi : pnp and pnp_cards
entries are duplicated to another naming. And this should work on system 
without
acpi.
This should have been named to pnp2 or something like that.

Now I don't see why isapnp_device_id and pnp_card_device_id can't be merged
together.

For example most of alsa isa card use pnp_card_device_id and not 
isapnp_device_id.
