Description

When bhyve was originally ported, a number of ifdef/ifndef FreeBSD statements were put in place to mitigate differences between illumos and FreeBSD. These have slowly been whittled down in the kernel, where unlike the userspace bits, source compatibility is no longer an explicit goal. There are sections, particularly relating to vm_run(), which would become much more readable if the those ifdefs were cleaned up.

There are a few ifdefs I'm leaving in place for now:
1. Ones relating to the iommu/vtd/pci-passthru, since I have little ability to test those bits
2. In areas which clearly need revisiting (due to context suggested by the comments)

Actions #3

I booted the typical suite of guest OSes (Linux, Windows, illumos, OpenBSD) on Intel and AMD hardware. There was no apparent change in behavior between stock bits and those featuring this change.
