Bus1 – Kernel Message Bus

What previous "bad IPC" mechanisms were integrated into mainline Linux? Only one I can think of is sysv shared memory.

All of them :)

Pipes are too specialized, localSockets are kind of a pain, etc.

Most recently, kdbus. It wasn't even ABI-compatible.

kdbus was never merged to mainline.

Sorry, I took 'integrated' to mean something other than merged. No, kdbus was never part of the kernel repo.
