Bus needs to be built-in as it is being used by iommu driver. I'll add more details here.

I needed a custom bus here to use for the compute cb devices for iommu
configurations, I don't see any reason to keep it QDA-specific. The only requirement
is that this should be enabled built in whenever QDA is enabled.

But if I keep it generic, where should this be placed? Should it be accel(or drm?) specific?
