For the m68k it's because we do not support any PCI/ISA devices and
all the SCSI drivers in drivers/scsi/Config.in at least used to not be
protected by CONFIG_ISA, CONFIG_PCI etc. hence we would end up with
200 questions about SCSI drivers that do not work. If you can convince
Linus to take a patch that puts CONFIG_{ISA,PCI,SBUS,NUBUS,ZORRO} in
drivers/scsi/Config.in then we can move it no problem.
