it is basically qemu-head + kvm (running on a linux host)
with modifications to use a VALE switch as a backend, and
a few tweaks to speed up access to the guest memory.
A patch is at

http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/doc/20130523-qemu-diff.gz

The FreeBSD guest uses if_lem.c and just sets polling mode.
I also have patches for the guest device driver, but they
are still in the works.

cheers
