The purpose is Nix. But you can't just drive a physically put hierarchy
served by a server with a different kernel: the kernel has, at least,
to be able to serve the hierarchy. Since there is no dynamic linking,
there may be a kind of compatibility between executables, but I'm not
sure the syscalls are the same between 9legacy and 9front.
Finally, the coexistence between the two is not the problem: the
problem---that I hit also when trying to install 9front on a hardware
where 9front can't give access to a keyboard because it is USB xhci
and there is AMD IOMMU in the way---the problem is;
How to correct a filesystem config having hard coded the device it
serves when this device has changed?
