Well, it's a chicken and egg situation.  If adding to lguest the
ability to use the standardised Plan 9 driver interface actually
simplifies lguest (it may not, of course, but one can wish), then the
exercise becomes much more worthwhile and lguest developers may then
prefer to use Plan 9 as the platform.  And develop drivers for it.

I have a feeling some of that is beginning to filter into Xen,
although their priorities are necessarily elsewhere presently and for
the foreseeable future.
