It is bhyve what is crashing when xhci comes to be configured;
otherwise xhci - on a real host - is working. I see my first
NetBSD-current vm installation under FreeNAS to have had the same
problem on the 5th of February this year - as is now.  It is not clear
therefore where the problem is, but I would say the virtualizer
shouldn't crash when the guest has a problem of a kind - if it can't
deal with the presented configuration, it should be able to gracefully
quit.
