embedded emulation: bhyve + vt-x on amd fx-8320

Hello world :-)

I have relatively old but still decent 8 core AMD FX-8320 CPU.

I have switched to bhyve in order to do some testing. I am running
Debian with Android Studio to test some mobile applications.

The Virtual Device however does not want to start because there is no
virtualization support (aka VT-D / NX missing). Yes they write the
emulation will be slower but the emulation does not start at all (ave
google lol).

Three questions:
1. How to check if my CPU has the VT-D/NX support? Cannot find this
information on a vendor site o_O
2. How to enable VT-D/NX emulation under bhyve (assuming that CPU supports it)?
3. Is it possible to "fake" this VT-D/NX (at reduced emulation speed)
if CPU does not support it?

Any hints appreciated :-)
Tomek
