hello, mischief here.

it is 'in the works'. there's some bugs to be squashed.

i'm using the legacy virtio interface. it doesn't perform very great
right now, usually slower than igbe, but that may not matter if you
can't get igbe at all. it also seems to crash on old (meaning, 1.0)
qemu. i've been testing on 1.7.0 and 2.0.0.

i am writing the driver on 9front, but a while ago i ran it on lab's
kernel. it seemed to work OK then.

You will also need a virtio-scsi driver; GCE does not offer
virtio-blk. But it should work just fine when both drivers are
available.

 is anyone working on this or has done a deep dive? it looks doable.

No but it looks intriguing.

Cool idea, but it seems to come with some baggage, specifically,
requiring python 2.6, sshd and, more importantly (but optionally, it
seems)gsutil, gcutil and some odd network settings.  It still looks
feasible, but not with an out-of-the-box Plan 9 instance.
