Yeah, that sounds right.

FWIW, the bhyve driver tries to reconnect to domains after restart, you
can check virBhyveProcessReconnectAll() in bhyve_process.c.

Daniel P. Berrange suggested on IRC that specifying autostart order is not
supported and it's actually not desired to mix manual port assignment
and autoport on the same host.

Also, qemu supports obtaining autoport range from the config file, we'd
probably want to have a similar behaviour for the bhyve driver (but as a
separate patch I guess).

Also, Daniel noted that this patch needs to add
virPortAllocatorRelease() when domain goes down.
