I would assume that you have a small set of ISA add-on cards that
you actually need to support, right?

Since most ISA drivers don't actually use isa_register_driver
(for good or bad), how about changing the Kconfig entry for
the ones you need to 'depends on ISA || PLAT_GRANDEGGER_PC104_ATOM'
or similar?
