I don't know much about NetBSD internals.  So I'm a bit confused why  
these interfaces would affect whether modules are allowed or not.  To  
give you a bit more information, I'm building a virtualization-aware  
file system.  To simplify development, I'd like this file system to be  
in a module.  Of course, this is not necessary, but it would just  
simplify development.

Since I'm not using any internal hardware interfaces (like bus_dma), I  
thought kernel modules should easily work.  Put another way, what's  
hindering the example module from working on a NetBSD domU?

Thanks,
Mike
