Log Message:
qemu: Conditionalize NVMM for NetBSD

Build NVMM support whenever there is /usr/include/nvmm.h available.

I am uncomfortable with this method of conditionalizing, as it seems to
move away from repeatable builds.

Would it be sufficient/reasonable to instead just enable the option by
default on NetBSD >= 9?

It's not that simple.
What if NetBSD-9 was built without NVMM support?
We can build NetBSD without YP support and have to deal with similar stuff .... see python about that for example.

Also see the curses framework is is very condition based on the platform.
