The PC/104 drivers were changed to utilize the ISA bus driver as part of the original patchset which attempted to decouple the X86_32 dependency from the ISA Kconfig option; these drivers were updated with the intention of building on X86_64 in addition to X86_32. However, the respective patches were merged without the decoupling changes (since decoupling was the wrong approach), resulting in an unintentional regression: the PC/104 drivers are now restricted to X86_32 due to the ISA Kconfig option dependency, while they were capable of building for X86_64 in previous kernel versions. This patchset should fix this regression by introducing the ISA_BUS_API Kconfig option, and the respective Kconfig dependency changes for the drivers, in order to allow them to build for both X86_64 and X86_32 as originally capable.
