NetBSD currently only supports qemu-traditional, so Wait -- do I grasp correctly that this patch _forces_ NetBSD as a dom0 to handle file-backed I/O requests in a way that includes additional context switches to userspace, and which your previous email said resulted in a 30% reduction in throughput compared to dom0 I/O? I am assuming there's some reason we want this, rather than handling such requests in-kernel. But what is it?
