* Being in the kernel closes a lot of races which can't be fixed with
the current userspace solutions. For example, with kdbus, there is a
way a client can disconnect from a bus, but do so only if no further
messages present in its queue, which is crucial for implementing
race-free "exit-on-idle" services
This can be implemented in userspace.
Client to dbus daemon: may I exit now?
Dbus daemon to client: yes (and no more messages) or no
