Zeeshan Ali Khan requested to merge zeenix/zbus:vsock into main Aug 30, 2022

The "vsock" transport isn't yet accepted by the D-Bus maintainers and none of the existing brokers support this (yet) but it's already usable in two cases:

p2p
Firecracker's vsock support, where the host side is a normal unix socket and hence a D-Bus broker can be bound on that and a zbus-based app or service in the guest can connect through this new vsock support.

This work is based on the WIP MR (!229 (closed)) by @elmarco.
