it might make sense to do the opposite. import namespace onto
the machine with the usb and run usbd there. (e.g. for a keyboard-like
device.) for a disk-like device, it may make sense to import the
disk at the disk level.
i've done both with aoe, importing '#æ' and '#l'. there are interesting
tradeoffs that depend an awful lot on what you're tunneling via 9p.
