--- Comment #1 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
FreeBSD doesn't have a way to let external hypervisors like vbox work across
suspend and resume.  I did add a hook for bhyve in
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=3Drevision&revision=3D259782.  We woul=
d need
something similar.  The same issue matters for permitting multiple hypervis=
ors
being active at the same time (e.g. you can't run both bhyve and vbox at the
same time currently).  I had been thinking of adding a kind of hypervisor
framework to let hypervisors allocate the VMX region and then permit
associating it with a given process so that you could do the right vmxon/vm=
xoff
during context switch.  Having that would also allow us to more cleanly han=
dle
suspend/resume for arbitrary hypervisors.

One thing you might be able to do for now is change the vbox driver to set =
the
same vmm_resume_p pointer that bhyve's vmm.ko sets during MOD_LOAD to a
function that reinvokes vmxon with the right address on each CPU during res=
ume.
 Probably both bhyve and vbox should also fail to load in MOD_LOAD if that
pointer is already non-NULL which would enforce only one could be used at a
time.
