I would rather see a merging of devfs
into the devsd framework.  Then 9fat:
doesn't need to change at all and we're
back to having all the disk devices served
by #S.  I'm not sure what the name should
be (sdV0 for virtual?), but then you can
just parse ctl commands written to
/dev/sdV0/ctl to create new disks under
/dev/sdV0.
