Another bug is that the 9p guys broke the filesystem by unconditionally  
defaulting to virtio even if you give it an ipv4 address. There's code  
to detect type but it's called _after_ the unconditional default to  
virtio.

It was kernel commit 535bcd3c4e8d09a62a89b2f1f3b3a80e1b3fce4b and as  
far as I'm concerned 9p is completely broken until that's reverted.  
I'll probably do a local patch to revert it next time around.

I've made a note of this, but until I get the basic problem with 9p  
fixed I'm unlikely to test virto. Upstream did something DEEPLY STUPID.

Thanks for the heads up,

Rob
