"Busses" is considered to be a legitimate spelling as well.  I have gone
ahead and applied this in the hope that it will reduce the temptation
for others to "fix" it, but this kind of change in general is a sort of
churn that does not really help the kernel project.  Thanks for working
to improve our documentation, but I do hope that you will find more
useful improvements going forward.

Thanks,

jon
