Remember that the shared memory is just one piece of the Xen comms -
they've got all this other cruft for different device classes and bus
provisioning. That is what we are talking about replacing with 9P -
and while I'm not certain, I think its a pretty good bet that 9P will
end up being more compact that the other cruft and better suited to
transport over different networks when/where necessary.
