The impact of a seperate KOBJ interface is probably large. I can't
think of a use of this object that's unrelated to the bus object.
If we do have such an use, then it should probably be a seperate
interface, otherwise I think we should just add new methods to the
bus interface.

I first need to finish a couple of other things, but then I can
spend some time on it. Don't wait for me :-)
