Please, do not take it as an attempt to give you a hard time --
different people have different real problems -- I was merely trying to
ask about specific things you are after.

Ahem... I have been using kqemu-kmod for few years now and have yet to
see any ill effects, apart from rare times when I rebuild kernel and
forget to rebuild the module (I used to track -CURRENT, but now I am
sticking to RELENG_7). YMMV, but I would certainly recommend giving it a
try.

Not to belittle VMWare, but I could not get their current kernel modules
to build on my Gentoo box, so it is not that immune to kernel changes
either.

HTH,
