I just stumbled across a talk I gave in 2002:

Here's one slide:

How to fix this (2): 9sys
We are building a Plan 9 system call set into Linux
It is only 38 calls
Three steps
Initial support as ioctl's from a device (/dev/9sys)
Direct integration into Linux system call table
Remove non-Plan 9 system calls (ca. 235 of them)
Result should be Linux portability with Plan 9 architecture
Greatly pared-down footprint
Early code is working now

Note that the system calls back then were 235 in number, are 300 now.
Note that one of the steps was "remove

good luck with glendix, it will be fun if it works. I stopped work on
9sys when lucent fixed the license.
