The naming of the API is reasonably consistent at the moment. It looks like we
aren't going to need to export vme_bus_get and vme_bus_put based on the
conversation on patch 5. In addition to this, I've discovered that the
functions for USB are actually called usb_get_dev and usb_put_dev, so the
*_put/get convention isn't very strictly adhered to. I'd prefer to keep the
API as is.
