> Improve support for the Intel 82371FB/SB/AB/EB/MB southbridge(s):
> 
>  - Implement ISA related support:
>    - Initialize the RTC
>    - Enable access to all BIOS regions (but _not_ write access to ROM)
>    - Enable ISA (not EIO) support
>    - Without the *_isa.c file, the Super I/O init is never performed
>  - Improve IDE support:
>    - Add config option to enable Ultra DMA/33 for each disk
>    - Add config option to enable legacy IDE port access
>  - Implement hard reset support
>  - Implement USB controller support
>  - Various code cleanups and improvements
> 
> The code partially supports southbridges other than the 82371EB (but
> which are very similar), more complete support will follow.

Not sure about the USB controller part. It does nothing, yet, does it?
Maybe it should stay disabled until it has to do something?
