Actually.. on second thoughts..
CONFIG_I82378 already exists, and will break those tests of disabled.
So while making the tests more robust against config changes would be
a good thing in general, I don't think it's in the scope of what I'm
trying to do here - making ISA configurable won't make these tests any
more broken with nonstandard configs than they already are.
