Well, CERN will have 2 in a short time. And I'm sure the bus concept is so good that a number of them exists as external patches. Being forced to patch a core file is not good, with conflicts that accumulate over time. I'd better be able to drop in my own file and add a kconfig-aware line in Makefile. I think the implementation is straightforward. Who should I send it to? thanks /alessandro
