 I would be using such a patch as soon as it was available.  On a friend's
 advice, I upgraded a ZFS server here at home with an AMD 9590 and 32Gig
 of
 RAM.  I'd dearly like to use it to track down the netgraph bug (see my
 other recent posts), but it doesn't currently qualify.

It took longer than anticipated but AMD/SVM support is now in stable/10.

Please sync to r276447 before testing.

 It will be MFCed to 10-STABLE but I don't have a specific time frame in
 mind.

 I'll guess that it'll be towards the end of November but can be
 accelerated if someone has a need for this in 10-STABLE sooner.

+1. And on a somewhat related note, does the SVM port have equivalent to 
Intel Unrestricted Guest support? From what I understand, that will be 
required for the forthcoming UEFI/CSM ( Legacy BIOS ) as well as other

I'll guess that it'll be towards the end of November but can be

Re: HEADS UP: Merging projects/bhyve_svm to HEAD

2014-10-19 Thread Benjamin Perrault
After a few days of extensive testing and abuse, i’ve run into no new issues or 
unknowns what so ever. Everything that worked before still works now ( and a 
few bugs from fixed from HEAD ). 

Thus, I have gone ahead and pushed r273182 w/ Neel’s patch out to about 80 of 
the assorted AMD boxes in the production and dev pods that I care for. If end 
users see something, I’ll let you know, but I have a feeling they won’t. 

Again - Excellent work.

Fetched the patch and compiled.
