Andrew,
there seem to be some renew of interest in 9P lately, so if you'd like I
can take care of rounding these up and prepare a pull request for 4.19
(as we're already well into 4.18 release cycle, I believe most of the
patches can wait)
This patch however I consider important enough to take for 4.18 so could
you please grab it for now?
I've gathered the Review tags and added my own, feel free to change my
Reviewed-and-tested-by tag to Signed-off-by if it seems more appropriate
as I'm actively pushing for this patch.
