The only trouble is if  you go over 4GHZ...  Maybe it should be in KHZ 
instead of MHZ?  or 64-bits?  Or maybe we don't worry about >4GHZ busses?

Also, how would one go about changing this?  Would you need something like:

if (bus_clk < 1000)
  bus_clk *= 1000000

for backwards compatability?

I'm not sure I understand completely.  How would you go about setting 
the platform data?
