Ok, thanks.

Well, I think I've just figured out why it says that (the ACPIxxxx devices), 
so it looks like I am going to have to go through and fix all the various 
drivers to use a probe routine if they attach to ACPI.  It looks like several 
drivers attach to acpi that probably don't need to as well (ACPI only 
enumerates built-in hardware like COM ports, etc.  It doesn't enumerate ISA 
PnP cards).
