Why such a cryptic name? You know, this isn't MS-DOS, names can be
longer than 8 characters ;)

This last item should go to a separate patch, so that it can be
discussed. It is not clear to me why you would need to export functions
nobody else needed to export. It will be easier to review and merge
your code if the bus driver itself is in one patch and any required
integration changes are in another.
