Log:
  Delete the "blackhole" driver - it is not needed anymore.
  
  The "blackhole" driver was used in conjunction with bhyve to sequester
  pci devices intended for passthru until vmm.ko was loaded. This was
  useful at one point because vmm.ko could not be loaded at boot time.
  
  The same functionality can now be achieved by loading vmm.ko via the
  loader along with the kernel.
