At most it bounds the busses directly available. I've yet to see VME cardbus
adapters but its quite possible.

Its a good way of getting the defaults right. It may also be an appropriate
way of guiding presentation (eg putting the stuff the ruleset says you wont
have under a subcategory so you would see

		CPU type
		Devices
		blah
		blah
		Other Options
			IDE disk
			Cardbus
