( ... not the kqemu-wrapper alone [and then linked against foreign built object files, as until recently]. )
Only Makefiles needed to be "ported".
No real porting.
But more testing was required, than one might have expected (#0._gld_vs._ld && #1._mcmodel=kernel vs. -fpic)

"gdiff -Nurb" against http://qemu.com/kqemu-1.3.0pre11.tar.gz :
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/downloads/kqemu-1.3.0pre11__osol20070214.gdiff.bz2

Same gdiff, but without Eric Lowe's CDDL licensed kqemu-solaris wrapper code :
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/downloads/kqemu-1.3.0pre11__osol20070214_WithoutEricLowesWRAPPER__kqemu-solaris.c__.gdiff.bz2

OPEN kqemu accelerator FULL src && bins :
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/downloads/kqemu-1.3.0pre11__sol10FCSplus_20070214_src_and_bins.tar.bz2

Juergen Keil's latest patch (enabling kqemu on old Sol10FCS based hosts) is embedded and compiled in.


Thanks for the steadily increasing community involvement, testing and comments.

Speacial thanks to Juergen Keil, Ben Taylor and Eric Lowe.

p.s. SUNWqemu 0.9.0 sparc and x86/x64 (with Sittichai's TAP patch) will be released on 20070218.

Thanks.

btw: kqemu may not be a wonder pill.
But it does increase performance dramatically in _certain_ scenarios.
