Sorry for the delayed follow up.  I wrote some patches to remove the need for
/dev/io:

Testing would be appreciated.  This does not remove the dependency on /dev/mem
yet.

I am very skeptical that jailing bhyve with PCI passthrough enabled provides
any meaningful security.  /dev/pci allows a jailed root to access all PCI(e)
devices in the system.  Jails can be a useful deployment mechanism though, so I
think we should better support their integration with bhyve.
