vmrun.sh and bhyve(8) are seperate commands,
only bhyve(8) supports the cpu pin option as -p,
you can not do this with the example script vmrun.sh
unless you modify it yourself and add some other
option to do this with.

To do the pinning with bhyve(8) you do something like

	bhyve -p 0:0 -p 1:1 -p 2:2 -p 3:7

if I am reading the code correctly.
