    Seconded.

    It has also worked against, well, me in the past in that I couldn't
    figure out why a driver simply didn't want to work with memio while
    it worked perfectly with pio. Then I spotted the bus_pio.h header at
    the top and cursed, cursed, cursed.

    I'm all for performance tuning, but the newbus optimization is just
    too weird for its own good this way.
