The file visorbus.h is currently included by 4 drivers: visorbus and 3
other drivers that are staying in staging for now, but we plan to move out
soon.

The files visorbus_private.h and controlvmchannel.h are only used by the
visorbus driver and belong solely in the visorbus directory, no one should
be including them besides the visorbus driver.
