The Net9P Configuration
>Environment:
>Description:
The vio9p(4) device is handy in a VM guest for sharing file systems with a VM host such as qemu.

However, it is missing from various GENERIC kernels and MAKEDEV scripts.

It should be added to all the relevant kernel configurations and MAKEDEV scripts.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to use qemu 9p virtfs with a GENERIC guest
>Fix:
Yes, please!

While here, perhaps we should have a virtio.config file that can be included, like usbdevices.config, so we don't have to copy & paste the same block of virtio attachments in every kernel config.
