Linux on BHyVe in 10.0-RELEASE

[Takuya ASADA]

Append results using bhyyve-scripts.

* CentOS 6.5 with bhyve-scripts
Dies at same place: Unknown WRMSR code 391, val 2000000f, cpu 0

* Ubuntu 13.10 with bhyve-scripts
Dies at same place: (initramfs)
Anyway I'll test with ahci-cd, which is point-outed by Peter.

* Debian 7.3 with bhyve-scripts
Able to install, bootup!
But serial console sometimes outputs "AT+GCAP" or something, looks like AT
command?
Maybe I mis-configured Debian during installation?

* OpenBSD 5.4 with bhyve-scripts
Hangs at virtio0 initialization:

scsibus0 at vioblk0: 2 targets
sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <VirtIO, Block Device, > SCSI3 0/direct fixed
sd0: 10240MB, 512 bytes/sector, 20971520 sectors
virtio0: couldn't map interrupt


So, only Debian had worked on my environment for now.
