there is really much of a point in having some sort of compatibility layer.

Of course I am interested in contributing. As an example i patched aux/vga 
while testing my fork on different hardware 9legacy couldn't switch to vga mode 
and I got blank screens on six different thin client models. Sometimes caused 
by not recognizing PCI bridges but many times by the way mode selection happens 
in aux/vga. This is a problem thats not only affecting my fork but many forks. 
I wrote a patch which tries to find the next possible 32 bpp mode available in 
the bios. While preselecting a fixed mode in plan9.ini led to blank screens 
with this simple change you get a mode that is supported an lies next to your 
choice in the ini file. This works until now for all devices I tested. Only a 
small example.
