 This is a misconfigured hypervisor, or a bug in the hypervisor.
 
 FreeBSD amd64 assumes that both X87 FPU and SSE2 are present for any
 CPU capable of long mode. It is enforced by the Unix amd64 ABI.
 
 Intel documentation states that CPUID leaf 0xd must report the presence of
 FPU extensions, and since for the long mode capable CPU, SSE2 and X87 must
 be present, we re-check the report. Aparently, the returned CPUID data
 is wrong.

 n't make a difference, if xsave is exposed to the guest, FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 =
 fails to boot with the error above.

 Talk to KVM developers.
 
 i386 kernel does not support this feature, 9.0 did not have it yet.
