What are the qemu accel options on NetBSD 8.0? (I guess nvmm is only in
9.0?)

I am trying this on a Hetzner VPS. [I am also checking with them on nested
virtualization support they offer.]

qemu accel help shows tcg and hax.

I didn't notice any difference with tcg.

hax is not supported on my VPS. Module exits saying VT is not supported.
