Support for this 15+ year old family of CPUs was removed almost a year ago.
Continuing to support them was getting in the way of other improvements.
Your option is to stay on 7.7 or lower or update to a newer machine.
I saw this and wondered how I'd be able to tell if my cpu is affected
by this. I have a few Xeon(R) namely E5-2690 E5-2690v2 E5-2407
They presently aren't running OpenBSD but may do in the future.

Thanks for the info. I never thought that this problem is affected by "Perhaps what
you are sending in is a feature request, not necessarily a bug." I was so sure. I
guess i'll consider updating the machine.
