Basicaly, yes. The current system avoids skipping numbers where the old
one would skip entries where you had provided isa probe hints, but there
wasn't a card there. I believe there was some talk about changing
things so device hints mean something like, "if there is a device
matching these parameters use this entry, otherwise, don't." This would
allow things like wiring devices to slots on PCI. It is possiably I
misunderstood the proposal and it certaintly won't make it into 4.0.
