Actually, this is the problem in BusLogic.h:

/*
FlashPoint support is only available for the Intel x86 Architecture with
CONFIG_PCI set.
*/

#ifndef __i386__
#undef CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
#define CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
#endif

#ifndef CONFIG_PCI
#undef CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
#define CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
#define BusLogic_InitializeProbeInfoListISA BusLogic_InitializeProbeInfoList
#endif

Having this dependency logic done in the header file is not very user
friendly, but the comment is pretty clear. I can move it to Kconfig,
but it will still not work on x86_64 if that comment is accurate.
