Since commit 5d971f9e67 we don't accept mismatching sizes in memory_region_access_valid(). This gives troubles when a device is on an ISA bus, because the CPU is free to use 8/16-bit accesses on the bus (or up to 32-bit on EISA bus), regardless what range is valid for the device.
Add a check to ensure devices plugged on the ISA bus can accept 8/16-bits accesses.
