The symptoms I see with this patch are that the VM appears to
completely stall, rather than progressing but slowly.
(I do also see on the current NetBSD tests/vm setup that sometimes
'make check' runs pretty slowly, but in that case it does make
progress, it just completes much slower than either the openbsd
or freebsd VMs. 'make check' is not particularly IO intensive,
certainly not compared to the actual compile phase, though.
And sometimes the initial "wait for VM to boot and ssh in"
phase just hits our 6 minute timeout.)

thanks
