Hey kib,

This commit breaks booting in UEFI mode under bhyve. The VM gets stuck
when the kernel launches /sbin/init. Here's a screenshot of a verbose
boot at a recent HEAD: https://imgur.com/PiJhfll

Note, the screenshot depicts HardenedBSD, not FreeBSD. Another user
attempting to boot a recent vanilla FreeBSD 12-CURRENT/amd64 snapshot
reported to me the same behavior, though, so the issue is certainly not
specific to HardenedBSD.

Reverting just this commit enabled booting in a bhyve VM again.

Thanks,
