Throwing an idea out because I've never seen anyone
else say it: the best possible linuxemu is Linux itself,
running as User-Mode Linux, which ought to be possible
with Linux syscall emulation (again, the code is in NIX),
except not really because there's no ptrace and UML is
centred around that.

Networking for UML is PPP, which 9front already provides,
and filesystem is just a directory (like linuxemu, and devfs
in 9vx), so actually running the binary is the only hurdle (I
would think).
