Well, on the offchance that the sound code that is currently in the isa 
directories becomes portable to ISA busses in general, having the PCI 
driver already in sys/pci would mean one less file to copy or reorganize.

Also, there is a precedent:
sys/i386/isa/if_ed*   and   sys/pci/if_ed_p.c  (the pci glue).

So, stick it in sys/pci unless there's absolutely zero chance that it'll
ever be used on something other than i386.

Cheers,
