Give bus1 a try on Arch Linux

I’ve packaged the bus1 kernel module and the related projects hosted on GitHub for Arch Linux.

They are available in the AUR:

• bus1-git;
• crbtree, cvariant and libbus1;
• bus1-base-git (renamed from ‘base’ which already as a meaning in Arch Linux).

Notice: You will probably have to tweak the bus1-git package to make it work with your specific kernel version / variant.

Once you have built and installed the bus1 kernel module you may load it using:

$ sudo modprobe bus1

And you should now have a /dev/bus1 device available.

I’m still reading the documentation and the code, but expect updates as soon as I get something interesting working!
