Splitting this up doesn't look like a silly idea -- I thought it was
unfortunate to have to patch a core file just to add a bus type.

I guess the question is how many new buses we get over time.
Well, CERN will have 2 in a short time. And I'm sure the bus concept
is so good that a number of them exists as external patches. Being
forced to patch a core file is not good, with conflicts that accumulate
over time.

I'd better be able to drop in my own file and add a kconfig-aware line
in Makefile.  I think the implementation is straightforward. Who should
I send it to?

thanks
