Please look at our recent set of patches.
We are developing a 9P server for QEMU and client is already part of mainline
Linux.
Our goal is to optimize it for virualization environment and will work as FS
pass-through
mechanism between host and the guest.
Here is the latest set of patches..

Please let us know if you are interested ... we can coordinate.
Thanks,
