[RFC] Moving bhyve to head

[Peter Grehan]

Hi Alfred,

> Peter, bhyve has been a huge boon and very successful for many of us.

  Great to hear !

> A few people have asked me if the code will be available in -stable soon.

  The initial plan was to not do this - it seemed a lot of work in 
addition to the massive TODO list. Also, we weren't sure how stable the 
interfaces would be.

  But, I'm not going to stop anyone who is willing to do the backport :)

> Is that possible? Can I help in any fashion?

  Absolutely possible. All early development was done on 8.1. I think 
most of the relevant host bits (FPU/AVX save/restore) have now been 
MFC'd thought there might be some more required.

  rpaulo@ is already doing some work on this - you may wish to 
coordinate with him.

later,

Peter.
