Our CI started to enable udev backend on FreeBSD. And while there is udev on FreeBSD some parts of our code are highly Linux specific, e.g. translating SCSI device type to string (from an integer obtained from the sysfs). Obviously, this doesn't work anywhere else. This is the reason why we need to include scsi/scsi.h header file (which actually comes from the Linux kernel source tree but for some reason glibc started to distribute it, followed by musl).

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
