Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/3] aha1532: remove ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD usage

We can safely remove ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD usage in aha1532. aha1532 uses
ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to see if:

- the buffers in scatter/list are below 16MB.
- scsi_host is below 16MB.

Both checkings were added in the ancient times but aren't necessary
nowadays since we properly bounce the buffers and allocate scsi_host
below 16MB with non-zero unchecked_isa_dma.
