The problem with extending the sid::bus class is that it impacts every
component. Using larger data types would imply adding support for
them into sidtypes.h, and we're already using the biggest standard one
(long long). This is not the easiest implementation avenue.
I think it would be a mistake to defer support for wider buses. If left
until later, the number of components that need to be upgraded will be much
larger.
