I believe Peter Grehan @ FreeBSD is working on the boot loader, and maybe some driver stuff. Unless the BIOS emulation is complete, and I don't think it is, it requires a modified bootloader, and it requires that all emulated devices implement MSI. But I asked Peter to comment further because I am not sure of the status. I think once OpenBSD/amd64 can boot under Bhyve, it makes sense to try and port Bhyve to OpenBSD/amd64. Or whatever. The CPU features that it uses make for minimal system overhead, seems like it is quite a bit ahead of any other full system virtualization on commodity crap. Of course minimal overhead means absolutely no legacy support, including anything prior to MSI interrupts.
