I was already assuming that 9.0 is going to be as broken with Xen as 8.2. > Before I do so, I'd appreciate some > community testing on the proposed patch set (attached).

I had it temporarily for evaluating virtualized FreeBSD and that evaluation ended with a conclusion that something else is a better solution in that particular case. However, after reading your patch, the MAC/ioemu/"do something smart" part of the patch looks good to me. Please go ahead. The other parts look sensible as well but I am not familiar enough with the code to really say so. -- Janne Snabb / EPIPE Communications snabb@epipe.com - http://epipe.com/
