do not store Block* pointer in packet descriptor, assumed
pointer would fit in a long. we use pointer table now to
record the Block* pointer and store index instead.
old ramfs had a limit on the number of files it could serve
and file size was limited to maximum allocaiton size.
the new implementation uses multiple memory chunks to back file data
in a private compactable memory pool to overcome these limits.
files can be sparse. file metadata is maintained by 9pfile data
structures of lib9p.

mischief → aan is dialing the *exportfs* port because i explicitly specified it
netfd is initially zero (stdin), when filter() closes fd0,
fd0 is free to be reused. this causes problems with openmount()
that assumes sfd being >2.
instead, we dup the our pipe end over netfd, and close the pipe.
