As I understand, 9P itself is designed to operate on top of a
message-oriented transport; however, it has everything required to run
over a stream, esp. message length at beginning of every message.
Framing is done by the library: the read9pmsg routine performs as many
reads as necessary to return a complete 9P message to the caller.
