Oh, that should actually work just fine and is maybe the best idea.
The bus interface and the bus implementation are independant from each 
other.  USB for example has UHCI and OHCI, both implement a usb bus and 
you can hook the USB devices to both of them just fine.  Might be the 
ISA bus is a bit sloppy because a single implementation exists and needs 
some cleanups to make this actually work.  But worth investigating I think.
