VirtualBox paravirtualisation for FreeBSD guest?

[Ben Lavery]

 In VirtualBox 5, going into the settings for a VM then into the System > Acceleration tabs, there is a drop down menu with the following options for “Paravirtualization Interface”:
- None
- Default
- Legacy
- Minimal
- Hyper-V
- KVM

It is this setting that I am wondering what to set to. 

Regards,
Ben

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…
