performance issues aside, I thought you couldn't use u9fs as a boot fileserver
because tcp doesn't preserve the message boundaries (as needed by 9P).

The solution suggested ages ago was to change the kernel to use
something similar to aux/fcall to reconstruct the 9p message boundaries.
Has the kernel been changed to do this now??
