- How do FreeBSD developers/users test the hyper-v guest code in the projects branch? Who is testing this code outside of Microsoft?

- Does bhyve support PCI pass thru? - Yes, but there is limited support for detecting IOMMU controllers on the platform - kib@ is working on a more proper IOMMU implementation

- Bryan V would like help from the community to get hold of the VMware vmxnet3 spec

- Dedup of guest memory pages - definitely would help with virtual machine - may also help with jails - may have a security implications with the guest using heuristics to guess whether another guest has a similar page

- Properly integrate bhyve guest memory management into the FreeBSD VM subsystem - teach amd64/pmap about nested paging - shadow objects(?)

- Haiku OS has support for reading and writing VMDK images with MIT license

- Add FreeBSD guest debugging howto to the bhyve wiki

- Guest PCI hole >= Host PCI hole to prevent passthru PCI endpoints from freaking out if they are told to DMA to a guest physical address that also matches one of their BAR addresses!
