In theory it should work fine. The "u9fs client" is the mount driver, which
lives in the kernel and can't be swapped out. Most of tcp/ip is in the kernel
also. The thing to watch out for is that arpd is a user process, and thus it
can be swapped out. This can be a problem if your server likes to time out
arp table entries too frequently. I noticed that Solaris flushes its arp table
unconditionally (except for permanent entries) every few seconds (though
I think this is reconfigurable).

The last I looked, u9fs didn't implement the "clwalk" operation (only
used by cfs), so unless this has been fixed, it won't work.
