The OpenBSD PF firewall is several revisions ahead and more inte-
grated than one in FreeBSD. The PF versions diverged in OpenBSD
4.7 and the one in FreeBSD was left behind. I use them both
on their respected OS. It was very recent in bhyve development
that pci-passthru was finally operational with an OpenBSD guest
and I was building a new server and wanted to test things out.
