Yes, that's what me and Linus have asked about having in the past, making things easier to merge and the like. Now admittedly, this file isn't all that hard to merge these days given that the addition of new busses is pretty rare, these complaints might have been from before git times, when merges were harder than they are now. Anyway, I like your patch as well, as it seems to get us to that goal. thanks, greg k-h
