I need to implement a xen transport for 9pfs. Linda was essentially
doing the same. But she didn't specify the canonical protocol between
frontend and backend.
As for "9pvirtio specific code", I think there is misunderstanding
because though a lot of files in QEMU are prefixed with virtio they are
actually not specific to virtio at all. I think the "independent of
virtio ..." part was referring to the new transport she wrote.
Wei.
