Hello,

this depends on bnovkov@ MFCs:
3c0686082df8 (URL: 
https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=3c0686082df824ef06b739253c032ab35723e251) 
and
bd16bac27e7e (URL: 
https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=bd16bac27e7e0d31bccf88feca95cd98f0ef0fd4)

Both originally are tagged to be MFCd after  3 months which would have 
been March 2026.
cbd442efe85d (bhyve: add configurable SMBIOS OEM Strings) was due in August.

Are you still interested in MFCing?
I'm running stable/15 with all three merged without any issues for a 
about a month or two (but haven't utilized the SMBIOS OEM Strings 
capability yet).

Maybe you could do it in time for 15.2?

Thanks a lot,
