that makes sense...
The bit that I'd like to see is some wiki page that details all the 
options you need fo rall the differnet hypervisors..  I know some 
share drives (e.g. bhyve and whatever else uses the same drivers) but 
from my hunting the information is not all in one concise place.. in 
some table. (if it exists I just haven't found it yet..)
