The feature isn't in the installed QEMU for the Ubuntu box I run the BSD VM tests on, which is what the blocker is -- I don't want to have to keep around and maintain a non-system QEMU to run the VMs that are doing the tests here. It would be preferable to remove the dependency on the bleeding-edge slirp feature. thanks -- PMM
