I am interested in virtio drivers too :)
Some time ago I used rump drivers from netbsd and I was able to use
logical devices (ld) drivers, see [1].
Then I wanted to use virtio9p (missing in rump kernel drivers) and I
started porting Linux LXL [2] but some things are stil missing to pass
all the tests, plus I needed to patch libfuse [3]. Then I didn't have
enough time to finish the work, but maybe you can use it as a starting
point, probably only the PCI glue is needed.

Hope it helps
Luca
