Since I made a similar comment for another patch, and I now saw that you
have more of these, let's start to rethink this from teh beginning.

We have a bunch of "PC-style" I/O drivers: parport_pc, vga, i8042,
legacy-rtc, floppy and maybe some more. these usually come together
or not at all, so I think it would be good to have a CONFIG_LEGACY_PC_IO
symbol that all architectures select if they have the majority of the
above, and then we can use variants of the other symbols for the
exceptions.
