Given the freeze, and discussions on IRC, I have committed most of this
series.

This particular patch doesn't compile, but I fixed it up.

Still outstanding are "NetBSD: use system-provided headers", the
followon patches requested in "libs/light: pass some infos to qemu", and
"xenpmd.c: use dynamic allocation" which failed like this:

https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/andyhhp/xen/-/jobs/996140268

This latter one I didn't feel confident fixing in a way which didn't
break NetBSD, particularly at this point when I'm also racing to get
other content ready as well.
