It's actually wrong to avoid the copy like I suggested, since this isn't
an in-place delete, and we don't have space for the last entry.
btw you don't need to sort at all. Instead do
memcpy(new_bus->range, bus->range, i * sizeof)
memcpy(new_bus->range + i, bus->range + i + 1, new_bus->dev_count - i
* sizeof)
