} Last time I've checked Qemu traditional was working fine on Xen 4.2 &
} NetBSD, the problem is only with Qemu-upstream. Have you tried adding:

     It was said that Xen 4.2 and above should just compile on NetBSD.
This wasn't even close to being true.  xenkernel42 built without any
patches.  But, xentools42 required a significant amount of work to get
it to the point where it's at.  And, as noted in my initial
announcement, I left out HVM support as that was just taking too much
time.
