bhyve: Add support for UEFI boot ROM, VNC, and USB tablet
|

</summary>

<description>
|

The bhyve driver now supports booting using the UEFI boot ROM,
|
||||
so non-FreeBSD guests that support UEFI could be booted without
|
||||
using an external boot loader like grub-bhyve. Video is also
|
||||
supported now, allowing to connect to guests via VNC and use
|
||||
an USB tablet as an input device. Please refer to
|
||||
the driver page for domain XML examples.
