docs/misc: Xen transport for 9pfs

9pfs is a network filesystem protocol developed for Plan 9. 9pfs is very
simple and describes a series of commands and responses. It is
completely independent from the communication channels, in fact many
clients and servers support multiple channels, usually called
"transports". For example the Linux client supports tcp and unix
sockets, fds, virtio and rdma.

This design document outlines the transport protocol for
9pfs payload.
