Re: [Qemu-devel] [RFC, PATCH] Host AIO support detection, OpenBSD host support

["Todd T. Fries" <qemu-devel@email.fries.net>]

I am responsible for that.  Back when the qemu siginfo stuff was in use
it was necessary.

Sorry for the extra cruft, will look for cleaning it when qemu releases
next..

Looking forward to the next release with OpenBSD/sparc running inside
qemu ;-)

Thanks,
