Hello,
     Wei has suggested I "send a summarised email on [my] work to 
xen-devel so that people are aware of [my] work."
     To that end, and to save Wei from reinventing the wheel, I am 
providing the following:

      First to correct a misconception, I followed the state change 
protocol of xen, as outlined by Ian Campbell in his 6/11 email on 
"Re:[xen-devel]grant tables and driver handshaking".
     This was tested early in the summer when I passed a small amount of 
data between my initial front and back ends.   The code resides in the 
files p9_front.c, p9_front_driver.c on the front end and xen_9pif.c on 
the backend.
     I am attaching an updated version of a writeup I made this summer.  
It's table of contents is:
     1.  The state of the project
     2.  The approach I took
     3.  How to build my project
     4.  How to use it.

Sincerely,

Linda Jacobson
