Definitely. Though Documentation is hard to come by for most of these
features ... grr ...

Well - the idea is to have the chipset export an "Intraface" for each of
these external buses and either:

- attach external modules to it that have their own devices and stuff,
which would make sense for stuff like video-overlay equipment that is
pretty much separate from the graphics generation or
- link the KGI driver with additional subsystems
