Good question. As far as I can see most (all?) of these have "select
ISA_BUS_API" which is "def_bool ISA". Now "config ISA" seems to
currently be repeated in architectures and doesn't have an explicit
HAS_IOPORT dependency (it maybe should have one). But it does only make
sense on architectures with HAS_IOPORT set.
