dmesg OK case after cold boot.

Hi,
after setting up a new virtual server with FreeBSD 10 (10.1 too)
and geli/ZFS, the machine does show the geli password prompt only after cold boot.
Using the exact same Kernel/Userland combination (same binaries) on an older KVM host doesn't show this.
There must be some sort of race in the geli code...
A verbose dmesg of the OK case is attached.

The password prompt is actually in your dmesg output, it is just buried in other messages.
