Actually the patch provides certain level of support for

and SYSCTL_V_PROC. [...]

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. Now all we need is a
way to start a vimage with hw.machine and hw.machine_arch set to a
vimage-specific value...

So your question opens up a pandora's box... Obviously it's trivial to
virtualize a sysctl, but I still don't have a clear idea on what would
be the most convenient way of specifying start-up constraints or
parameters when instatiating a new vimage. At the moment each
virtualized variable is initialized to some system-wide compiled in
constant - we need to come up with a much more flexible / configurable
model...
