Well, I think this is something really specific to Xen, because FreeBSD
is mapping the error returned by Xen (ENODATA), to a error code
available on FreeBSD (ENOENT), see:

http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/royger/freebsd.git;a=patch;h=f09eeed01bc884b37e978f6ec6e3e7a86778ef4b

But I don't think this is useful outside of this context, since there's
no syscall that would return ENODATA on FreeBSD that instead returns
ENOENT. All the paths in Qemu that check for ENODATA are Linux specific
AFAICT.
