    The initial bus1 patch posting
    The bus1 message-passing mechanism is the successor to the "kdbus" project;
    it was covered here in August. The patches have now been posted for review.
    "While bus1 emerged out of the kdbus project, bus1 was started from
    scratch and the concepts have little in common. In a nutshell, bus1
    provides a capability-based IPC system, similar in nature to Android
    Binder, Cap'n Proto, and seL4.
    "
