You're welcome :) I've already anticipated on the planned Qemu 6.0 release by
incrementally porting forward our patches to the `current' git Qemu. That was
less trivial as I had hoped for due to the rototilling they did in the mean
time :-/ but after a bunch of small steps and bisecting it now runs fine on
today's sources.

Might be wise until all archs are confirmed to be OK; I tested x86_64, x86_64
with NVMM, aarch64, sparc64 and mipsel64 on Qemu 5.2 and also on Qemu-current
though.

Speaking of which, would it be handy to add my tracking Qemu-current package
that builds from any specified Qemu git SHA as such to pkgsrc? Its inherent a
moving snapshot but its not that immature as a pkgsrc-wip project of course.

With regards,
