      <title>ISA legacy functions</title>
      <para>
	On older kernels (2.2 and earlier) the ISA bus could be read or
	written with these functions and without ioremap being used. This is
	no longer true in Linux 2.4. A set of equivalent functions exist for
	easy legacy driver porting. The functions available are prefixed
	with 'isa_' and are <function>isa_readb</function>,
	<function>isa_writeb</function>, <function>isa_readw</function>, 
	<function>isa_writew</function>, <function>isa_readl</function>,
	<function>isa_writel</function>, <function>isa_memcpy_fromio</function>
	and <function>isa_memcpy_toio</function>
      </para>
      <para>
	These functions should not be used in new drivers, and will
	eventually be going away.
