The PCI front-end of the driver probably ought to be MI, like the
ofisa version (it would probably be more useful, too), but the
back-end is still MD, since it depends on MD timing routines. So
even though you could theoretically drop a PCI joystick card into any
PCI-equipped machine, the back end can't handle it.
