Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/bhyve: Detect FreeBSD Bhyve hypervisor

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@...zon.co.uk>

This detects the Bhyve hypervisor and enables 15-bit MSI support if
available.

Detecting Bhyve used to be a purely cosmetic issue, of the kernel printing
'Hypervisor detected: Bhyve' at boot time.

But FreeBSD 15.0 will support¹ the 15-bit MSI enlightenment to support
more than 255 vCPUs (http://david.woodhou.se/ExtDestId.pdf) which means
there's now actually some functional reason to do so.
