CONFIG_IDE_CORE is not the only reason that pci.mak needs CONFIG_ISA_BUS=y, as you make it sound. The other problem is that we don't have Kconfig yet, so we have no way of modeling that I82378 depends on ISA_BUS, therefore either pci.mak (as done here) or ppc-softmmu.mak and ppc64-softmmu.mak need CONFIG_ISA_BUS=y. And due to the qtest either sh4/sh4eb need that same dependency too, or the test needs to be changed. So please either revise the commit message when you resend, or you'll need to repeat CONFIG_ISA_BUS=y for ppc, ppc64, sh4, sh4eb.
