Subject: RE: [PATCH 1/1] Drivers: hv: Cleanup the guest ID computation

This is the patch I sent out yesterday for Linux to clean up the guest ID mess. For FreeBSD, you can use the following constant:

HV_FREEBSD_VENDOR_ID		0x8200

and use the function to generate the ID appropriately. Larry, I will forward you the proposal for guest ID in a separate email.

Regards.

K. Y
