This is great news.

Thanks very much to Peter, Neel and Netapp.

I've been using bhyve for a few weeks now and it has made booting 
kernels and testing various things much easier.

I hope eventually to have some time to use bhyve to create a test 
harness for booting FreeBSD with low memory and various tuning 
parameters as well as hooking it to tinderbox for testing "the daily build".
