Both patches are needed technically, as GIO applications needed to be
wrapped with GIO_EXTRA_MODULES; and udisks, gvfs available as dbus
services.  While it will still works with only Patch2, due to
gvfs-service-type also introduces GIO_EXTRA_MODULES via
gvfs-service-type -> udisks-service->type -> udisks -> glib dependencies
by chance, but on a foreign system or when the system side
libgvfsdbus.so is not ABI compatible with applicaiton's GLib, I guess
Patch1 could make application works as long as the GVfs dbus interface
is compatible.
