Actually, that's an excellent commit and I commend amdmi3 on it.  It will
help both our users and our developers.  It clearly states to users that
their system is unsupported and explains how they can bypass the check if
they know what they are doing.  That's far better than users getting
strange build or runtime failures that require investigation and
potentially emails to work out what's wrong.

And you are doing so in the clear knowledge that what you are doing is
not supported by the FreeBSD Project.
