No, no it's really "special casing", i.e "making a special case". I
must admit I don't know if it's proper English, but clearly, "special
causing" doesn't make any sense, and "special casing" is what I wanted
to write.

Merriam-Webster says that both exists [1], though buses is apparently
more common. The kernel has 633 occurrences of busses, and 785
occurrences of buses.

So I'd say my commit log is good as-is :)
