Maybe I will try to after I understand this a bit better, because it's
still not working, and I'm introduced with a couple of issues that I'm
still not coming around with solutions for -- that set-up is a really
huge hack. I guess I knew it was like that.

It seems to be a chicken-and-egg type problem, which I don't think it
is. I can't really kbind("#I", "/net", MAFTER); at the time that I'm
calling ethermediumbind -- it's too early for that. At the same time,
I can't really move the links and makekprocdev(&ipdevtab); to the area
in init0() where kbind()s happen. Maybe I'm missing something totally
obvious here, but there must be some way for me to call
ethermediumbind() and change its namespace view -- but so far
nothing's happening when I add:

kbind("#Zplan9/", "/", MAFTER);
+kbind("#I", "/net", MAFTER);
+kbind("#l0", "/net", MAFTER);
kbind("#p", "/proc", MREPL);

in init0.
