On physical machines it's EBus, which is pretty much like 8-bit ISA.
So, I think modelling it as ISA is closer to to the reality.
But out of curiosity, would it be possible to have a sysbus device
somewhere in a middle of PCI space? Do sysbus devices have higher
priority if the address spaces overlap? Or do you mean that the PCI
controller needs to be modified to have a hole for a sysbus device?
