That might be an avenue worth looking into. I suspect it might end up
more being a exercise of pulling out the commonality (SBS definition)
and then you end up with 2 simpler drivers which use SBS for whichever
bus/subsystem they want. I am not sure we would be able to fully combine
them further than that, but maybe.
