See tests/keys - basically we have a hard-wired testing key.

Can the OpenBSD kernel use virtio-net-pci and virtio-scsi-pci?

It's not super important for build testing but they are the most capable
variants of virtio. The virtio-pci gives nice discover-able hotplug and
I believe you need virtio-scsi-pci if you want to use funky options like
discard for thin provisioning.
