Re: [PATCH 0/2] bsd-user, FreeBSD update

[Warner Losh]

Yes. I've picked 4 changes to make sure that I've got the size and groupings of patches right for this project. I've heard nothing back on them, so I'll try again after the first of the year.

I'd thought about just removing it all and pushing up the current state, but I think even that might be unreviewable.

Oh good to know I understand better why syscalls not updated for so long.

To upstream I would suggest not to push straight all these changes in
one shot and focus on FreeBSD at first, much less to review and so on.

Regards.

Are you familiar with the bsd-user efforts we've been doing at https://github.com/qemu-bsd-user/qemu-bsd-user We have about 300 patches in the queue and the more that others change things, the harder it is to get them in. They are a twisty maze of conflicts early in the series and some not-updated API calls dealing with the evolution of the qemu cpu model as well.
