Ok, I'm assuming that there are no boxes with no ISA slots but VLB slots. I guess that's safe. If someone really has a weird box were that is not true I guess they'll have to live with defining CONFIG_ISA.
In theory one could introduce an CONFIG_VLB, but I don't think it is worth it.

Ok thanks, will change it.
