Sounds like a plan. To have a clean patch from the start that new config
option PC_STYLE_HARDWARE needs to be added to almost all architectures.

That is good to know, so I will add a "depends on PCI" for I2O.

So I leave "depends on !S390" for now.

There are still a few more config options:
  IPMI
  VT
  SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
  SCSI_SATA

and numerous menues:
  "TPM devices" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "EDAC - error detection and reporting" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Hardware monitoring support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "InfiniBand support" - don't think this is pc style hardware
  "Input device support" - ??
  "ISDN subsystem" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "LED devices" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Multimedia devices" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Misc devices" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "MMC/SD Card support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Memory Technology Devices (MTD)" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "PHY device support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Real Time Clock" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Serial drivers" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "SPI support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Telephony Support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "USB support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Graphics support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Dallas's 1-wire bus" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Amateur Radio support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Bluetooth subsystem support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "IrDA (infrared) subsystem support" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE
  "Sound" - PC_STYLE_HARDWARE

Looks like PC_STYLE_HARDWARE is the clever idea I've been looking for.
