Bhyve Broken: whose fault (AMD, FreeBSD, ZFS ...?)

... curiously, top running on the guest reveals (the point at which the
bhyve wedges):

88722 root          1  52    0   109M   105M pfault  3   0:03  42.37%
llvm-tblgen
88687 root          1  52    0   374M   347M pfault  2   0:04  38.24%
llvm-tblgen
88668 root          1  52    0   236M   225M pfault  0   0:04  35.11%
llvm-tblgen
88743 root          1  52    0 55460K 26392K pfault  3   0:00  10.23% cc

... where top on the host just shows 100% bhyve 100% busy on 4 threads.
