Please no. SecondClass/ implies some kind of hall of shame, which is not 
a fair characterization.

I think it would be better to simply host this code under OvmfPkg/Bhyve, 
and put some annotation in Maintainers.txt to document that regressions 
that only affect Bhyve are not treated with the same level of urgency as 
ones that affect OVMF for QEMU.
