[PATCH 0/7] Xen transport for 9pfs frontend driver

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@kernel.org>]

Hi all,

This patch series implements a new transport for 9pfs, aimed at Xen
systems.

The transport is based on a traditional Xen frontend and backend drivers
pair. This patch series implements the frontend, which typically runs in
a regular unprivileged guest.

I'll follow up with another series that implements the backend in
userspace in QEMU, which typically runs in Dom0 (but could also run in
a another guest).

The frontend complies to the Xen transport for 9pfs specification
version 1, available here:
