Is there a larger context I can read about > somewhere? I needed this on Linux in order to debug an issue where I suspected full TB invalidation may be an issue. It turned out to be something completely different, but I found it useful: setting it to, e.g., 4096 makes full TB invalidation very rare, so if a problem is still reproducible, then the root causes is something else. Philippe suggested to implement this for BSD as well in order to keep the interfaces in sync. [...]

Thank you for taking the time to do this! And the other bug fix. Both have been queued to my first post 9.1 pull branch. Warner

While qemu-system can set tb-size using -accel tcg,tb-size=n, there is no similar knob for qemu-bsd-user. Add one in a way similar to how one-insn-per-tb is already handled.
