Ok, this patch should make this behaviour no more conditioned to KSE
presence or not:
http://people.freebsd.org/~attilio/kqemu.diff

Note: this is highly untested due to lack of time and stuffs, but it
should work.
You would test in all the 4 configuration:
- kernel with KSE, kqemu without
- kernel without KSE, kquemu without
- kernel with KSE, kqemu with
- kernel without KSE, kquemu without

They should all work. If they doesn't please let me know.

An alternative approach would be to just not making KSE stuffs
conditional, but even if I hate these ABI breakages I hate even more
adding 16 unused bytes to "struct thread" struct on amd64.

Thanks,
Attilio
