Gerd Hoffman and Brad Smith have OpenBSD buildslaves which run nightly
builds.  These builds cover qemu.git/master but also Kevin's block
tree and a couple more.  So in the worst case the build would break
noisily when your patch gets merged into qemu.git/master.

If your patch travels up through Kevin's block tree or another
subsystem tree, then a buildbot failure notification would be sent to
the mailing list before qemu.git/master is broken :).

I hope this explains what to expect regarding BSD build breakage.
