RFC: adding vsock: transport

[Marc-André Lureau]

Hi,

Here is a proposal with a MR to add the vsock: transport to D-Bus:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/merge_requests/200

The main use case would be to allow VM guest services to register on a host
bus. Typically, guest agents could connect to provide various services over
DBus. This would come handy especially for desktop integration (think
clipboard sharing and such).

The specification defines vsock addresses as such:
"vsock:cid=number,port=number". Listenable addresses have optional cid/port
values.

Review/comments welcome!
thanks
