  Neel and I would like to move bhyve development from the
projects/bhyve branch into CURRENT. This will allow the code
to reach a wider audience before 10, and provide us with better
feedback on what features should be prioritized.

  The intent of bhyve is to provide a small, extendible codebase
that allows FreeBSD users to easily run virtual machines. Currently,
bhyve supports running FreeBSD/amd64 guests on FreeBSD/amd64
hosts with Intel VT-x and EPT CPU support. Additional guest operating 
systems should be available in the near future, as will AMD-SVM CPU support.

  bhyve is implemented as a kernel module and user-level utilities. Note
that it has zero impact on the system until the module is loaded.

The raw diff against CURRENT can be viewed at

  A listing of modified and added files with annotations is at:

  Comments and review requested :)

later,

Peter & Neel.
