Is there any specific dependency of whether this should be built only
with certain archs ? As the case may be, i found the functions
prototypes defined inside the arch specific headers, which definitely
will not compile on PPC64:
# find . -type f | xargs grep -in isa_virt_to_bus
./arch/alpha/include/asm/io.h:119:#define isa_virt_to_bus virt_to_bus
./arch/arm/include/asm/io.h:33:#define isa_virt_to_bus virt_to_phys
./arch/mips/include/asm/io.h:142:static inline unsigned long
isa_virt_to_bus(volatile void * address)
./arch/parisc/include/asm/io.h:17:static inline unsigned long
isa_virt_to_bus(void *addr) {
./arch/x86/include/asm/floppy.h:182:
isa_virt_to_bus(addr) >= 0x1000000 ||
./arch/x86/include/asm/floppy.h:218: set_dma_addr(FLOPPY_DMA,
isa_virt_to_bus(addr));
./arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:130:static inline unsigned int
isa_virt_to_bus(volatile void *address)
Then there should be some solution to the problem inside
drivers/net/Kconfig

But NI65 is properly guarded against ISA bus non-support already:
config NI65
tristate "NI6510 support"
depends on NET_VENDOR_RACAL && ISA && ISA_DMA_API

If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read
the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called ni65.
And powerpc _does_ offer ISA bus support:
./arch/powerpc/Kconfig:config ISA
./arch/powerpc/Kconfig: bool "Support for ISA-bus hardware"
./arch/powerpc/Kconfig: Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
Of course I'm 167% sure that nobody has ever tried those cards on ppc ;-),
but still that would be a _possibility_ that shouldn't be denied straight away.

Indeed, which (given my above comments) should probably be to provide
some isa_virt_to_bus() functionality on powerpc or conditionally disable (yuck!)
use of these mechanisms in the drivers.
Anyway, it's certainly not a mistake per se to try to build those drivers on
an ISA-support-enabled powerpc platform.
Of course I'm not certain as to current status of e.g. ni5010, but OTOH I still
have some of those cards... (after all I'm the driver co-author)
Thanks for the heads-up,
