I haven't checked, but you might be able to use the ocaml-ssh library
as a starting point:

  https://github.com/avsm/ocaml-ssh/

If you want to use the C implementation instead, you'll need to find
out how it sends the data. If it provides a flexible API then you can
just call into the C libraries as external functions and pass the data
to the network stack from your OCaml code (see e.g. nocrypto for an
example of calling C code from Mirage).

If the C code needs a POSIX interface then you might be better off
using a rumpkernel, though you could implement the necessary stubs in
Mirage too.
