Hrm, a bit later than anticipated, got ill after skipping too many nights,
had to take a break :-)

However, with the following patch, fdc, sio, and ppc attach under acpi
instead of isa again!

With a stock kernel and patched dsdt I have a fully working system again.
All Dell laptop users with problems might want to give this a look as at
least Stijn's Inspirion 8500 has exactly the same dsdt as mine (Latitude
C640).

ps. Bob, sorry for arguing that it might be acpica, I come from a world
where I assume hardware is not the first thing to look at when things
break ...
