I have followed the bhyve development from the first time I came to FreeBSD from Linux. And I plan to try XEN from the beginning,too,BUT,I haven't installed it yet because I've read that : 1) it does not support EFI 2) it does not support the gpu passthrough These limitations are intolerable for me and I've chosen to use only bhyve. Does anyone know if they have been removed ?
