Yes.  Not that anyone really probably cares anymore.  EISA is dead.

Oh really?  Having PCI disabled seems fine on today's net-next tree
from what I see below:

----------------

The .config is an allnoconfig, then turned on EISA, NETDEVICES, etc
and 3C900 support.  As you can see, PCI is not enabled, but the
GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP is (I didn't manually enable it, x86 selects it
via GENERIC_IOMAP).  Were you building for some other non x86 arch,
and simply didn't think it important to mention that?

Paul.
