Can the technique used in pushtls(2) of passing an open file
descriptor to a filter device work with a user-space file server?

What would be the equivalent lib9p idiom?

Somehow, I can't imagine just handing an integer to a user-space
file server (a totally distinct executable) and thereafter presuming
that the latter will find it useable as a file handle.  What am I
missing?

If that technique is not viable, is there perhaps another mechanism
that can be used analogously?  An existing example would be a nice
pointer.
