Well, I was kinda hoping that since
boot_run_interrupt_driven_config_hooks is in the common code, it might
look familiar to someone, may be. Or give some clues.


Can FreeBSD start from an arbitrary memory location? I can compile the
kernel, modify QEMU to load it into the guest RAM and start guest from
where the kernel is loaded, and this works for Linux-PPC64 (it detects
endianness and then relocates-readjusts itself) but will this work with
FreeBSD?
