5. So the questions are:

It hasn't been tested much (if at all) with the FreeBSD 7 drivers.
In fact, I don't think there's been much testing at all of FreeBSD
as a guest in KVM.
I've been running 2-3 production FreeBSD guests under KVM for about a
year now. I haven't yet upgraded to FreeBSD 7 though, so they are
running 6.2 and 6.3 STABLE. I'm also running FreeNAS which is
FreeBSD based in a guest.
Now THAT sounds promising. I have tinkered with the FreeNAS stuff.
In a VM
how many disk devices (i.e. real HDs not image files) are you
allocating
to the VM? Are you getting past the 4 IDE limit by using SCSI?
I am watching the new version of FreeNAS under FreeBSD 7 with the ZFS
addition very closely. It seems to be my ideal solution.
Cheers,
James.
Sorry, at the moment I'm only attaching a couple of large lvm disks
(on the host) using the IDE emulation. I just started playing with
SCSI support recently and was a little surprised to find that I
couldn't get KVM/qemu to boot a SCSI cdrom (attached to a local ISO
image on the host). I was trying to install an ISO image for a
custom linux based applicance that only had SCSI support in its
installer and kernel.
