There is no patch on xen-devel so I haven't actually reviewed anything, nor can anyone else who is interested in getting it work review anything. What I started last Wednesday was refactoring some QEMU code (only renaming files and making QEMU build), so that QEMU 9pfs doesn't just assume it is using virtio transport. I didn't mean I started review anything. Further discussion should go to xen-devel. There is definitely a need to get input from wider community to better coordinate this work.
