if given a block device, use the character device instead.

A useful commit message would explain why you're doing that.

How about this:

On NetBSD, the PV backend has to use the block device; but a
userland process is better with the character device interface. In
addition, a block device can't be opened twice; if the backend opens
it qemu can't and vice-versa.

Not sure if fprintf is a good idea here, but ok.

I want to make it clear what file the qemu process has been
using. this is what log files are for, isn't it ?

The patch is corrupted by this line wrap.

this line fits into 80 columns. must be a mail client or a ms exchange
problem.


Please remove the fprintf, the callers are responsible for sending an
error message to the right destination.


+        return -errno;

+    if (S_ISBLK(sb.st_mode))
+        filename = raw_get_rawdevice(filename);

The qemu coding style requires braces.

Also, I agree with Christoph that the lstat/S_ISBLK should be moved into
the NetBSD specific code.

Ok.

Christoph
