Why not have them use p9p's mount(1)?

I wont say anything about the whole fuse debacl^h^hte, I don't think
it is productive, but in any case it would be nice if p9p still
allowed people to take advantage of v9fs when available, one of the
reasons v9fs has sucked so much in the paste is that it basically had
zero users and underwent zero testing.

Peace and best wishes.
