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
