General Discussion / Re: KVM-Qemu Guest Agent

If the only purpose is to enable a clean shutdown, as moonman said: It works fine already with qemu using ACPI. (Edit: I just checked. Reboot works cleanly as well.)
Just instruct qemu to shut down the opnsense guest, and the guest goes through a proper shutdown procedure.
If there are other things that might be wanted from a guest package, I'm all ears, but currently FreeBSD/OPNsense already supports all of the important virtio drivers and proper shutdown with qemu. There doesn't seem to be any functionality left to add.
