To avoid lots of code duplication I think we would need to provide some sort
of "idle" device support in new-bus. Possibly something like this:

We need different levels of "active" also, EnergyStar requires machines
to reduce ethernet speed from GE to 100M when idle, (this saves approx
2W, 1W in either end of the cable).
