I am very new to bhyve, so sorry if I am asking something silly or obvious.
I am using bhyve to speed up my testing and it seems that each time I need to
restart a VM I need to go through the cycle of destroying it with bhyvectl
--destroy, then re-loading a kernel with bhyveload and then actually booting the
VM with bhyve.  It seems that I have to do this even if I don't change th kernel
between reboots.  My first naive impression was that the point of bhyveload was
to load the kernel once.  Seems it ain't so?
