7c43e0d2d5 Allow bhyve and bhyveload to attach to tty devices.
bhyveload: introduce the -c <device> parameter
 to select a tty for output (or "stdio")

bhyve: allow the puc and lpc-com backends to
 accept a tty in addition to "stdio"

When used in conjunction with the null-modem device,
nmdm(4), this allows attach/detach to the guest console
and multiple concurrent serial ports. kgdb on a serial
port is now functional.

24a03e33cf Add an option to bhyveload(8) that allows setting a loader environment variable
from the command line.

The option syntax is "-e <name=value>". It may be used multiple times to set
multiple environment variables.

f9f9a7e617 Parse the memory size parameter using expand_number() to allow specifying
the memory size more intuitively (e.g. 512M, 4G etc).

8d05d984e8 Simplify the assignment of memory to virtual machines by requiring a single
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.
