[PATCH 3/4] virtio: 9p: Add 9P transport driver
Kuan-Wei Chiu

Mon Jul 6 23:54:45 CEST 2026
Add virtio transport driver for the 9P filesystem.
This driver binds to the virtio-9p device exposed by the hypervisor and
registers the transport operations with the 9P client framework. It
implements the transmit and receive routines.
