David Woodhouse fa1d117162 x86/cpu: Detect FreeBSD Bhyve hypervisor
Detect the Bhyve hypervisor and enable 15-bit MSI support if available.

Detecting Bhyve used to be a purely cosmetic issue of the kernel printing
'Hypervisor detected: Bhyve' at boot time.

But FreeBSD 15.0 will support¹ the 15-bit MSI enlightenment to support
more than 255 vCPUs (http://david.woodhou.se/ExtDestId.pdf) which means
there's now actually some functional reason to do so.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
