we've done mounts-over-ssh in v9fs, through our firewall. It works, but
the problem is we have no error handling yet. If you lose the connection
for some reason we can't yet unmount the file system in a clean way; and
we don't yet make it possible to recreate the mount (and all the fids
etc.) if you can get the connection back. Error handling for the 'file
server went away' case sucks, basically.
