Hi Antoine, We probably should use something like KVMKVMKVM in cpuid ala linux-KVM. I've filed a bug to cover that: https://github.com/joyent/illumos-kvm/issues/21, but I don't have any sense of an ETA for the change. If there are additional issues with the emulation that OpenBSD has bugs on, it'd be great to know about those, so we can improve KVM, if possible, in addition to whatever needs to happen on the OpenBSD end.
