Hm, I cannot see a build-dependancy from any of the PCMCIA-Modules
to 8255.c. All PCMCIA-modules do build and load fine without compiling 
8255.c. There is a dependancy from das08_cs (PCMCIA) to das08 (ISA) via
config COMEDI_DAS08_CS select COMEDI_DAS08.
This will lead to a hidden select of COMEDI_DAS08 when 
COMEDI_ISA_DRIVERS is not enabled.
Is there something that I have missed?
