Yes, you're right. There doesn't appear to be anything 32-bit specific in the ISA bus driver itself, so these build failures must be due to configs relying on the 32-bit dependency from CONFIG_ISA. It should be possible to decouple the 32-bit dependency, so I'll work through the config dependency tree and fix the build errors with explicit CONFIG_X86_32 dependencies. I'll submit a new patch with those changes when complete.
