It is stable and works, and we can use both em and vmx driver, but only

I'm still on ESXi 5.1 in the lab and only have one host, but this seemed
interesting enough to run some benchmarks.
VM host: ESXi 5.1, Dell R610, one port used for VMs
minecraft: OpenBSD 6.0, em
symon: OpenBSD 6.0, vmx
cerberus: OpenBSD 5.8, bnx1, Dell R210-2, one port used for network
storage: CentOS 7, E1000e, SuperMicro X8DT6, two ports in LACP
librenms: OpenBSD 6.0, vmx
Cisco 3750-E switch (no 10 GB used)

In my case, it appears vmx performance varies widely, and em performance
is generally good. Let me know if you want any other combinations tested.
