Some details of the FreeBSD Handbook chapter 25.7 "FreeBSD as a Host with
bhyve" do not seem to be aligned with bhyve in the most recent release (15.1R).

Most examples from chapter 25.7.3 onwards tend to start bhyve as `bhyve -A -H
-P ...` but neither `man bhyve` nor `bhyve --help` on FreeBSD 15.1R/amd64
indicate a "-A" parameter existing at all.

In chapter 25.7.6 it says "Aside from minimum resource requirements, running
Windows as guest requires
  * wiring virtual machine memory (flag `-w`) and
  * booting with an UEFI bootrom. "
However, bhyve(8) says the "-w" parameter is for something different, "Model
Specific Registers".

For a person trying to do something by the Handbook, this is confusing.
