If I am not mistaken then xhyve and hyperkit are separate projects utilizing the same Hypervisor Framework from Apple under the hood.

hyperkit is a fork of xhyve, plus stuff like bridges between inotify and kqueue/fsevents, or transparent tcp port forwarding.

Hypervisor.framework is an API to execute hypervised code, to build virtualisation engines that can run unprivileged; you still have to write an actual virtual machine.
