Hi John,

Is it ok with ACPI? I'm not really familiar with ACPI on arm64 but my 
impression
is ACPI would use legacy I/O ports to communicate with kbd controller, 
EC and
power management facilities.

We'd better have a method to detect if ISA bus is not present on the system
instead of reserve them unconditionally.

Thanks.
