HEADS UP: Merging projects/bhyve_svm to HEAD

[Benjamin Perrault]

I’ve applied Neel’s patch against r273182 and am currently abusively testing it on a mix of HP DL385s w/ dual Opteron 6378SE, & Single socket AMD G34s ( some with Opteron 6200s, some with 6300s ), about 15 boxes in total - so far so good. 

Seriously awesome work Gentlemen.

cheers,
-bp
