One is to say "if you have a PCI:EISA bridge, you must have EISA support to get ISA". I don't really like that. Another is to match an EISA bridge as an ISA bridge, but that's also bad. A third, and I kinda like this one, is to build the EISA bridge support anytime you build PCI. The EISA bridge code will hang out a hook for an EISA bus (which doesn't have to be there), but it will also hang out a hook for an ISA bus, which might be. This is the way it used to "work" as well... -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
