there are a handful of old ISA-ish drivers that can crash randconfig

I mapped most of them out via many months of trial-and-error - but it
would still be nice to have some separate config option to disable the
known ones. CONFIG_ALLOW_NON_GENERIC or something like that - which i
would unset in the randconfig runs.
( They are not CONFIG_BROKEN per se, because often it's hardware that
cannot be probed in any reliable way - the driver just assumes it's
there. )
If you have a list, I might be able to do something about some of them.
