 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.


 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.


 Ping? I'm also waiting with bated breath for this to be MFCed. :) Thanks
 for the great work!


 Message received: loud and clear :-)


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

Please sync to r276447 before testing.

Neel


 +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 bhyve
 features.

 Yes, it does.

 Neel


 Thanks,
