I always though of AI as of "American Idiot"... or just one of another
100 meanings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_(disambiguation)

For a short time we didn't know real name of this bus, we
partially-guessed it to be AI. I can not help the fact this could be
understood as "artifical intelligence".

If you check PATCH V2, we renamed this to (AMBA) AXI. I don't have
better idea so i'll have to stay this way. Unless someone has a better
*proposal*.
