Bhyve passthrough problems

[Peter Grehan]

Hi Mario,

  First, you'll need to verify if that card supports MSI or MSI-x since 
that is required by bhyve for passthru support. This can be seen with 
'pciconf -lbc' on the FreeBSD host.

  This is bug in bhyve when running Windows with PCI devices that have 
more than 1 memory BAR (e.g. Intel igb ethernet devices), due to the 
order that Windows determines BAR sizes. I've been meaning to fix this 
for a long time so will try and get to it.

later,

Peter.
