Building Kyua inside qemu mips VM

[Adrian Chadd]

Yeah, it does:

le0: <AMD PCnet-PCI> irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0
le0: Lazy allocation of 0x20 bytes rid 0x10 type 4 at 0x120
le0: 16 receive buffers, 4 transmit buffers
le0: bpf attached
le0: Ethernet address: 52:54:00:12:34:56

(I'm doing a buildworld right now inside it.)
