Possibly.

bus_config_parser_get_type(), or equivalently bus_context_get_type(), is
an arbitrary string which has never actually had policy implications: it
sets the prefix for syslog messages and that's about it. I'm not
particularly keen on strcmp()ing it in bus/driver.c, but we could if we
have to. I'd rather have the test be "if type == session" and not "if
type != system", because an unknown bus type could be anything.
