isa: Implement the max_num_isa_dev macro
max_num_isa_dev is a macro to determine the maximum possible number of ISA devices which may be registered in the I/O port address space given the address extent of the ISA devices. The highest base address possible for an ISA device is 0x3FF; this results in 1024 possible base addresses. Dividing the number of possible base addresses by the address extent taken by each device results in the maximum number of devices on a system.
