The set as is in SVN does boot/work
on both real and kvm-based kfreebsd-amd64.

What about upload kfreebsd-10/gcc now ?
It would be nice to get more testing with gcc,

And switch to clang after that.

I will not work on bringing STABLE-9 snapshot,
I picked up different task, as you can see from SVN commits ;-)
