[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 04/12] block/raw-posix: use a character device if a block device is given

[Kevin Wolf]

From: Christoph Egger <address@hidden>

On NetBSD a userland process is better with the character device
interface. In addition, a block device can't be opened twice; if a Xen
backend opens it, qemu can't and vice-versa.
