I am not sure what you are talking about, but I have a VM on Mac that's 
running with PIIX3 chipset.

I'm planning on using VirtualBox and have seen in more recent versions that it offers various paravirtualisation interfaces (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html#gimproviders).  Setting up a new VirtualBox VM for various Linux distros seems to select different paravirtualisation interfaces, but nothing but Default for FreeBSD.

And if so which one?  I know that GENERIC has Hyper-V support, so I’m wondering if that would be a sensible option…
