ports/182209: [new port] misc/hyperv-ic: Ports containing Hyper-V integration components for FreeBSD

[Sainath Varanasi (Wipro Ltd.)]

Hi,

Please change the category from  "misc"  to "emulators". Do let us know if there is anything else that needs to be done.

Thanks,
Sainath.

Hi,

Apologies for the mistake. Ideally I like Aryeh's suggestion of creating a category for virtualization integration components. However given that it would require a lot more work, I believe emulators is the right category. Please change from misc to emulators.

Thanks,
Abhishek

General question on the category:
  There are a significant number of virtualization ports in emulators.   Emulators seems to be more about emulating hardware that is not present instead of virtualizing the existing hardware.  Given that why not create a category for virtualization?

Fix synosis.

Note to submitter: I have substituted 'misc' as the category.  'kld'
is a virtual category and cannot be used for a primary category (e.g.
there is no ports/kld/ directory.)

Is there another physical category you think might be better?
