AFAIK qemu also provides processor emulation, thus is mostly referred to
as an emulator rather than a virtual machine. I am no expert on this
though - I've used qemu in the past but could never get the level of
performance possible with VirtualBox or VMWare (which beats them both I
believe).

The paragraph was loosely based on the original one stating "No
virtualization solution for FreeBSD as a host". Seems the original
author also did not consider qemu as a virtual machine in this sense.
