    Yah, I agree.  There seem to be some files missing from the
    kqemu-dragonfly.patch.tar file you posted.  It's making calls
    to routines that are not present in files in the tar.

    e.g. kqemu_log(), but no file in the tar contains a function by
    that name.
    It will also require a major security and software review, and also
    needs a master SYSCTL-based enable (default disabled).
Why an enable?  Just don't load the module if you don't want it to be used.  qemu doesn't load the module itself.

Also, I don't think we should put $random kernel modules into base.  Why isn't pkgsrc a good location?

cheers
