ACPI 5.2.9.3 IA-PC Boot Architecture flag ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES can be used to determine if a system has legacy devices LPC or ISA devices. The x86 platform already has a struct which lists known associated legacy devices, we start off careful only by disabling root devices we should not regress with. The struct and device list can be expanded with time to cover more root legacy components.
