You should be able to use the plan9ports infrastructure just fine,
even if its more than you need.  I'm going to attach a really simple
devcons style driver I wrote using plan9ports as an example.  Almost
all of the code can be thought of as a template.  Search for Qtime and
Qcons to get the parts that really do anything.

One of these days I'll get around to writing a synthetic file systems
SDK to help make stuff like this more straightforward.
