I probably could have done it that way, but it looked easier to do it
as a pseudo-bus, and for the purposes at the time, the method didn't
matter all that much.

mainbus0 does not necessarily correspond to any physical bus.  There is
other precedent for things in the autoconf tree that do not correspond
to anything physical, such as wsdisplay.  (Or, more precisely,
corresponds to the same physical thing as something else.)
