The challenge is what you do about something like ne2k where the core 
chipset can either be a PCI device or an ISA device.  You would have 
to implement a wrapper around pci_dma_rw() in order to turn it into 
cpu_physical_memory_rw when doing ISA.
btw, ISA DMA is very different, no?  You program a dma controller to 
copy memory from the device to RAM (or vice versa); the device never 
initiates a transaction IIRC.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
