isa: Allow ISA-style drivers on modern systems
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.
