There is a cfmakeraw() call in usr.sbin/bhyve/consport.c; that would
definitely turn off nl->crnl translations.  I think that is the other
end of the bhyve console that I posted a patch for yesterday, and I
think the console driver is probably still the right place to do that
translation (because other console drivers do it that way).  But I'm
not set up to run bhyve here, so I can't test my theory.
