Change Details

Bhyve's fwctl only passes the number of vcpus to the guest. That could be done easily by QEMU's fwcfg. Additionally, QEMU's fwcfg has much more features. Sadly, bhyve's fwctl uses the same ports as QEMU's fwcfg. For that reason, it's not possible to keep them both. Requires a firmware patch: {F27158932}
