Alan you are of course right. But what to do about VLB and friends? Unfortunately there isn't something comparable to struct pci_bus for them in the kernel. (Or I'm missing something here?). Iff then I would rather like to have a generic solution.
(Do you remmeber about 4 years ago there *was* already a lengthy discussion about bus speed detection, without any proper resolution at all...I remember myself having even provided some code for this purpose...which was basicually just measuring RAM transfer rates...)
