[Paul Pathiakis]

 Thank you.
I didn't know they had never 're-synced'.

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.
