This should have a changelog saying *why* we need to export
pnp_bus_type.

I looked it up myself, and I see that the next patch adds
acpi_ipmi, which can be a module, and acpi_ipmi references
pnp_bus_type.

I don't like this exposure of pnp_bus_type.  I don't think
drivers should be using it.  I'll comment more in a response
to the next patch.
