Russell, First, thank you for the whiteboard input regarding the blueprint for FreeBSD hypervisor nova driver: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/freebsd-compute-node
We were considering libvirt support for bhyve hypervisor as well, only wouldn't want to do this as the first approach for FreeBSD+OpenStack integration. We'd rather bring bhyve bindings for libvirt later as another integration option. For FreeBSD host support a native hypervisor driver is important and desired long-term and we would like to have it anyways. Among things to consider are the following: - libvirt package is additional (non-OpenStack), external dependency (maintained in the 'ports' collection, not included in base system), while native API (via libvmmapi.so library) is integral part of the base system. - libvirt license is LGPL, which might be an important aspect for some users.
