I don't know if this is of any interest but I want to help to track down this
issue.

I started to enable and disable several features in libvirt's machine config to
find out when it starts to hang.

Here are some remarks worth to mention:

This works:
  <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'>
    <model fallback='allow'>Opteron_G3</model>
    <feature policy='optional' name='aes'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pclmuldq'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='fma4'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='avx'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='ssse3'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse4.2'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='xop'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='f16c'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pdpe1gb'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='fma'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='tbm'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse4.1'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='3dnowprefetch'/>
  </cpu>

This does not work:
  <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'>
    <model fallback='allow'>Opteron_G3</model>
    <feature policy='optional' name='aes'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pclmuldq'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='fma4'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='avx'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='ssse3'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse4.2'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='xop'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='f16c'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pdpe1gb'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='fma'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='tbm'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse4.1'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='3dnowprefetch'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='xsave'/>
  </cpu>

All these features are the differences between Opteron_G3 and Opteron_G5. Oddly
enough, enabling xsave gives a kernel panic.

panic: CPU0 does not support X87 or SSE: 0

(See screenshot attached. Note this is HardenedBSD but also affects FBSD
11.1-RELEASE)

So I started to build up my config to start with model=qemu64 and enable all
features as stated for Opteron_G5 in /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml

  <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'>
    <model fallback='allow'>qemu64</model>
    <feature policy='optional' name='3dnowprefetch'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='abm'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='aes'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='apic'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='avx'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='clflush'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='cmov'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='cx16'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='cx8'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='de'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='f16c'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='fma'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='fma4'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='fpu'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='fxsr'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='lahf_lm'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='lm'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='mca'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='mce'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='misalignsse'/>

    <feature policy='optional' name='nx'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pae'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pat'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pclmuldq'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pdpe1gb'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pge'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pni'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='popcnt'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pse'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='pse36'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='rdtscp'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sep'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse2'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse4.1'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse4.2'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='sse4a'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='ssse3'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='svm'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='syscall'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='tbm'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='tsc'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='xop'/>
    <feature policy='optional' name='xsave'/>
  </cpu>

/var/run/dmesg.boot:

I hope this helps someone.
