Configuring with --target-list=i386-softmmu should already give you a
minimal set of devices, omitting those that are irrelevant for x86 but
including a few optional ones.
However I don't understand why devices emulated in C code would pose a
porting problem for you? If the code is not using portable POSIX
constructs or suitable #ifdefs then please post patches to fix that
rather than working around those type of things.

osdep.c and related files come to mind, configure obviously.
