FWIW I do have some async 9p code waiting (it's been sent to the list
ages ago but I never took the time to properly test it due to lack of
interest manifested), the problem here is more the caching model than a
synchronous issue, since in nocache mode (where this is used) there is
nowhere to fetch the data ahead of time.

If you're interested in that then please have a look at

That aside, I guess, why not?
Will take when other patch gets addressed.
