VME: Provide access to VME bus enumeration and fix vme_user match function
The match function for vme_user is completely wrong. It will blindly bind against the first VME slot on each bus (at this point that would be just the first bus as the driver can only handle one bus). The original intention (before some major subsystem changes) was that the driver bind against the slot to which the bridge was attached in the VME system and to the bus(es) provided via the "bus" module parameter. To do this cleanly (i.e. without poking arround in the subsystems internal stuctures) a functionality has been added to provide access to the bus enumeration.
