    isa: Allow ISA-style drivers on modern systems · 3a495511

    Several modern devices, such as PC/104 cards, are expected to run on
    modern systems via an ISA bus interface. Since ISA is a legacy interface
    for most modern architectures, ISA support should remain disabled in
    general. Support for ISA-style drivers should be enabled on a per driver
    basis.
    
    To allow ISA-style drivers on modern systems, this patch introduces the
    ISA_BUS_API and ISA_BUS Kconfig options. The ISA bus driver will now
    build conditionally on the ISA_BUS_API Kconfig option, which defaults to
    the legacy ISA Kconfig option. The ISA_BUS Kconfig option allows the
    ISA_BUS_API Kconfig option to be selected on architectures which do not
    enable ISA (e.g. X86_64).
    
    The ISA_BUS Kconfig option is currently only implemented for X86
    architectures. Other architectures may have their own ISA_BUS Kconfig
    options added as required.
