In addition some missing parts were virtualised or the virtualisation was fixed, e.g., pf and ipfilter, ipfw log interface. I have done some testing and stress testing but it's impossible to catch all combinations and setups or even options. So once 11.0-ALPHA6 is out please do test (or if you want to do so now r302302 or later). These changes are only and will only be in FreeBSD 11 for the time being. You will still need to compile your own kernel; GENERIC will not have VIMAGE enabled for 11.0 as that requires at least a performance analysis (due to extra layer of indirection). It will also still print the "experimental" feature line, as we do not want to commit to KPI/KBI or other things yet and we feel more testing would be good. I would advise to start testing on dedicated test-systems and not necessarily production servers but obviously that is your choice. Also if you are using ports that bring their own ifnet interfaces and you are experiencing problems please let us know. If you find problems please file a bug report and make sure to set "vimage" in the Keywords field but feel also free to post to freebsd-virtualisation@ which I'll be monitoring. Thanks a lot to everyone! Bjoern -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
