Research 9p file server integration with the VM runtime

[nieznanysprawiciel]

What:

• research on how to integrate the 9p file server with the VM runtime
• design

Why:

• 9p file server will provide better means of mounting directories by expanding the fixed-size filesystem root (in tmpfs) and allow for exposing the existing contents of volume directories
• 9p file server is cross-platform, which would allow to port the VM runtime to Windows
