well, if I let the box boot fully and then load the vmm.ko, all is good.
But if I load it from /boot/loader.conf, I get a panic at boot up (img
attached)

But other than that, it works fine.

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

|Subject: [PATCH] Reload the LDT selector after an AMD-v #VMEXIT.
|
|cpu_switch() always reloads the LDT, so this can only affect the
|hypervisor process itself.  Fix this by explicitly reloading the host
|LDT selector after each #VMEXIT.  The stock bhyve process on FreeBSD
|never uses a custom LDT, so this change is cosmetic.

I confirmed prior to the patch I could run stock 11.2R  i386 and amd64
guest images on 12.0-ALPHA9 FreeBSD 12.0-ALPHA9 r339287 as the hypervisor

and
./vmrun.sh -c 4 -m 4096M -t tap1 -d FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-i386.raw i386


I sent a jpg of the crash in a separate image as it was rejected from the mailing list.
