Not forgotten. I just hoped there were other reviewers or testers in the meantime, but be it. Like I said, I don't have FreeBSD system here to test this, so I am taking your word for now that you tested this and plan to bring this into QEMU when master re-opens for new features soon. If you have some time to adjust the commit log message above, that would be great, otherwise I can also handle this on my end later on. Looks like that comment is not adjusted for v2 yet (i.e. "user." and not mentioning "system."). /Christian
