Crate mesh_process 

Infrastructure to create a multi-process mesh and spawn child processes within it.

Call Mesh::new() to create a process group. Workers launched on the mesh can run in child processes connected by the platform IPC transport (mesh_remote): Unix domain sockets on Linux, ALPC on Windows.

The child process receives an invitation via an environment variable and calls try_run_mesh_host() early in main() to join the mesh. Once joined, ports (and the resources they carry) flow transparently between parent and child.

This crate is used by OpenVMM to launch worker processes and by OpenHCL to run device emulators in isolated child processes.
