Why should the bitsize of the CPU matter for this? It seems one of the
less meaningful keys for this.

Second, as I have mentioned, I don't believe this is really the case,
especially not for the PIT, which is still present -- the PIT
*semantics* has explicit timing constraints.

Third, you still have ISA devices, they're just called LPC or PC104
devices these days.
