It does work most of the time and it's probably safe to load legacy /
generic drivers on most configurations. It's just that we're talking
about 15+ years of gap between ISA and PCI-e and there could be some
exceptions and we might need to tread a bit more carefully. To me, it
sounds reasonable.

Thanks.
