--- Comment #14 from igor@hybrid-lab.co.uk ---
(In reply to Rodney W. Grimes from comment #13)

Given that (a) there is absolutely no definitive background as to why the h=
ack,
pardon me, "quirk" was inserted in in the first place, (b) utter disinteres=
t in
getting to the bottom of the hack from the kernel "folk," and (c) existence=
 of
viable alternatives, we can safely say that the hack these patches were try=
ing
to revert was a tombstone on FreeBSD as a passthrough guest---I, for one, j=
ust
like in bug #178795, have moved onto Linux when I need passthrough; and I d=
oubt
we were the only two.

Now, given that I do like FreeBSD, I am quite happy to spin up an ESXi box =
and
try whatever.

Incidentally, comment #12 doesn't explain why de-quirking worked fine, or w=
hy
Linux/Windows guests are unaffected.
