Well, I've this AI support rewritten and isolated here too. It's not
about having the code but designing it well.

George Kashperko shared idea of really nice design layout for buses.
He pointed problems with ssb driver, explained how everything works.
With his layout it should be easy to support SSB and AI with very
minimal, if any, additional hacks. Nobody pointed any problems with
his layout.

I don't want to have support for AI in 10 places, even if this is
about staging area.
