That's true. However, there's nothing *intrinsic* about DRM that depends on
PCI. There's no reason that someone shouldn't do a DRM module for an SBUS

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
