This is not a backport because the original patch is too dificult to
backport, it's commit 72cf2d4f0e181d0d3a3122e04129c58a95da713e.

The upstream commit message states:

"Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there
have been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems."

Wouldn't this be a problem if we apply the simple patch below?

Doing a diff -bB shows that the Qemu version is just a stripped version of the original NetBSD header, with many macros removed, but no new ones added, so I think the patch is safe.
