> I'd love to hear from people ways that I can speed things up. There was a bit of discussion about this on #qemu IRC the other day, coincidentally. I think the conclusion we (upstream QEMU) came to was that we'd be happy with a "delete all of bsd-user and reinstate" approach, assuming that the "reinstate" part is in reasonably logical chunks and not one big "here's what we have all in one lump" patch. AIUI from IRC this is being primarily driven by FreeBSD and NetBSD/OpenBSD support is merely "we hope it is not broken by the delete-and-reinstate but it was probably broken anyway" ? thanks -- PMM
