command line option "-m <memsize in MB>" to specify the memory size.
Prior to this change the user needed to explicitly specify the amount of
memory allocated below 4G (-m <lowmem>) and the amount above 4G (-M <highmem>).
The "-M" option is no longer supported by 'bhyveload' and 'bhyve'.
The start of the PCI hole is fixed at 3GB and cannot be directly changed
using command line options. However it is still possible to change this in
special circumstances via the 'vm_set_lowmem_limit()' API provided by
libvmmapi.

in the guest.
The variables are: smbios.bios.vendor=BHYVE and boot_serial=1
The FreeBSD guest uses the "smbios.bios.vendor" environment variable to
detect whether or not it is running as a guest inside a hypervisor.
The "boot_serial=1" is temporary and will be dropped when bhyve can do VGA
emulation.

inside a BHyVe-based virtual machine.
It is a thin wrapper on top of userboot.so which is a variant of the FreeBSD
loader packaged as a shared library. 'bhyveload' provides callbacks that are
utilized by userboot.so to do things like console i/o, disk i/o,
set virtual machine registers etc.
Thanks for Doug Rabson (dfr@) for making this happen.
