A useful commit message would explain why you're doing that.

Not sure if fprintf is a good idea here, but ok.

The patch is corrupted by this line wrap.

Please remove the fprintf, the callers are responsible for sending an
error message to the right destination.

The qemu coding style requires braces.

Also, I agree with Christoph that the lstat/S_ISBLK should be moved into
the NetBSD specific code.
