We don't support some early generation CPUs.

"Barcelona" class and newer AMD processors include the required RVI
extension and as with Intel processors, presence of the "POPCNT"
(POPulation Count) processor feature in dmesg(8) indicates RVI
support. Note some processors such as Kuma core have POPCNT feature
but lacks required "NRIPS" (Next RIP Save) feature.
