The merge window is closed now, and I'm on the road in asia for about 3
weeks, so doing this, at this point in the development cycle, is going
to be hard.

I'll go review the bus code again after the code is all merged with
Linus, which should take a week or so depending on my schedule, and let
you know what's left to do (I think there still is something wierd with
the way the hv_driver is structured, but I could be wrong.)

In the mean time, I'm sure the block and network driver still need a lot
of work, and merging the bus code doesn't make much sense without them
as a user as that is what people really want to use, so you can continue
to work on them.

thanks,
