I do not run any windows in bhyve as bhyve can not run the windows I use due to missing/broken ATA support.

Can you point to this some place? My understanding is that MFC is at the discretion of the committer, and the only thing the big list of rules says: 6. Changes go to FreeBSD-CURRENT before FreeBSD-STABLE unless specifically permitted by the release engineer or unless they are not applicable to FreeBSD-CURRENT. Any non-trivial or non-urgent change which is applicable should also be allowed to sit in FreeBSD-CURRENT for at least 3 days before merging so that it can be given sufficient testing. I am making a wide call for testing, above and beyond the normal process already. I am also about to pull this back to my own 11.1 systems to ensure that I spot any merge problems and if need be attach an 11.1 and 11/stable patch to the diffential. There is also a call for testing going out at byhvecon, and there has already been a year to test on this, though perhaps not in final form, at least in functional form.
