I don't see any reason little endian wouldn't work; I wasn't aware
that it even existed. Aside from some workarounds for kernel struct
layout and other ugly ABI issues on some archs, musl is completely
endian-agnostic.

Haven't tried. I'd really rather figure out how to get rootfs-on-9p
working and use that for all my qemu-system experimentation.

Nice. Any idea what the performance is like?
