Definitely not.
I also wonder how sever this is..., we now at least register 24, we
didn't reserve more than 8 for at least 2 kernel iterations AFAIK.
Another workaround could be:
AFAIK IO resources below 0x100 are (still?) ignored atm.
If they are ignored earlier, at parse time
({pnpbios,pnpacpi}/rsparser.c) and they are not added to the
pnp_resource_table of the device, we would save another maybe 4-6 IO
ports which are ignored anyway.


I don't know how many externally built drivers, which are making use of
this, could still be out there?
What is the general policy for removing such old, rarely used and "being
more a workaround than an interface" exported symbols?

This should be 2.6.24 material:

Mark pnp_init_resource_table, pnp_resource_change, pnp_manual_config_dev deprecated

Thanks to Rene Herman, the remaining calls to those functions got eliminated
in the sound/isa layer recently.
Those functions are a workaround for wrong BIOS pnp information and give
drivers the possibility to override BIOS exported PNP resources.
This can be done through sysfs since 2.6, therefore these functions should
vanish rather soon, as dynamic allocation for PNP resources is depending
on it.
