Hi,
Sorry for the late reply... Since I have only limited bandwidth, I'll only
be able to provide some limited feedback.
A global remark to start with: it is a usual practice to prefix each patch
title with the component's name, as explained here:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch#Write_a_meaningful_commit_message
eg, patch titles in this series should start with something like with fsdev: or
9pfs: or oslib-win32:

Any updates ? Not sure people will spend time reviewing this series until
something actually works.
