Bhyve and Poor network speed with Intel X540-AT2

Hello,
I am running debian8 in a bhyve instance. The host has a 10g network and
uses Intel X540-AT2 NIC. The guest has a poor network speed in the order
of 2-3 kBps. However, if i disable the hardware offload features of the
NIC it brings the host speed from 10g to 1g, and bhyve shows 1g speed as
well. I use the following in rc.conf
ifconfig_ix0="-rxcsum -txcsum -vlanmtu -vlanhwtso -tso4 -tso6
-vlanhwtso -vlanhwcsum up"
Is there anyway around to get 10g speed on host and better speed in the
vm simultaneously?
Thanks
Rajil
