Admittedly the cloning behavior for kqemu is a bit of a hack, but the
module should be working.  Quirky behavior with 'ls' is better than
limiting it to a single process IMO.

IIRC there's still some Linux-ish assumptions made by kqemu about how
devices are opened multiple times that need to be correctly fixed rather
than just worked around.  Been a while since i've looked at it though.
