Take a look at this discussion:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-virtualization/2014-October/002857.html

We covered some of the topics you mentioned in that thread.

If you want to hack on the libvirt code, you need to get it from a git
repository on libvirt.org,
see: http://libvirt.org/downloads.html

Roman Bogorodskiy <novel at FreeBSD.org> has been very good about pushing
bhyve
enhancements directly to the libvirt maintainers via git.  We need more
people working
on libvirt for bhyve, so any help you can provide would be great.
