I have an HP dc7700 that gives the "no smap" error when trying to boot
7.0-BETA2-amd64, but boots fine with 7.0-BETA3-i386. So your problem
MIGHT be solved for i386, but probably not solved for amd64. I haven't
tried BETA3-amd64 (assuming it exists), but I've seen no suggestion
that this was fixed between betas.

There is a PR that is related:
