Thanks for the pointer. I've pushed it to a pick-up branch for now to  
facilitate testing. Did you test non-BSD guests, too?

I noticed that Adrian has patches for OpenBSD host support in their  
ports CVS repository, as pointed out by Mikolaj.
There appears to be some FreeBSD code in-tree though - so, is the  
above patch the only one you've queued, or do you have host patches as  
well that we could push "upstream"?

Regards,
Andreas
