I can't speak for Sean and he's AFK for a week or two, but he's been
performing this function for the fork for some time -- updating it for
changes in the rest of QEMU, etc. I think we've been stuck on
upstreaming it because it is somewhat awkward to refactor and is a
reasonable amount of effort, and we've lacked a bsd-user maintainer to
review or approve the patches anyhow.

I agree with a large code drop being undesirable. Given current
expectations (with bsd-user unmaintained) I hope we can make another
push to refactor and upstream the changes. We should be able to put in
some effort to present the patches in a sensible and logical order and
I'm willing to help with that. Perhaps we'll need a little leeway on
the parts specific to bsd-user, but I'm really hopeful we can make
this happen.

I also hope some folks from NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD and others
will help test the patch sets.
