How do I enable, and what requirements are this dependent on?

I was just looking into adding QEMU and Xen today. How can I enable these?
It is asking for kernel-headers, but my guess is that this is already
available through some of our ports. Any guidance on what it would the code
would be looking for insofar as headers would be great so I can either find
a port to supply it or port something to supply it.

There are efforts @ FreeBSD to actually get networking to work for libvirt,
and also add our hypervisor into the mix :) Bhyve

Very exciting stuff...

Thanks!
