275 | <para> | ||
276 | On older kernels (2.2 and earlier) the ISA bus could be read or | ||
277 | written with these functions and without ioremap being used. This is | ||
278 | no longer true in Linux 2.4. A set of equivalent functions exist for | ||
279 | easy legacy driver porting. The functions available are prefixed | ||
280 | with 'isa_' and are <function>isa_readb</function>, | ||
281 | <function>isa_writeb</function>, <function>isa_readw</function>, | ||
282 | <function>isa_writew</function>, <function>isa_readl</function>, | ||

284 | and <function>isa_memcpy_toio</function> | ||

286 | <para> | ||
287 | These functions should not be used in new drivers, and will | ||
288 | eventually be going away. | ||
