This is more of a FreeBSD kernel question than a QEMU question.  I don't
have time to dig into the FreeBSD sources but you should be able to find
the answer there.

Check out the FreeBSD kernel's vdso implementation.  Linux has something
similar, it's a library mapped into userspace processes that is provided
by the kernel.  It includes low-level utilities that depend on the
specific kernel.
