CURRENT: Operation not supported by device

Hello,

I've been using bhyve for a while now and in the past couple days 
(though I'm not sure when it started, certainly less than two 
weeks ago), I've been getting this message when trying to start a 
VM on CURRENT:

# # This is after unloading vmm
# sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -E -I null.iso -d 
  disk0.img test
*** vmm.ko is not loaded
# kldload vmm
# sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -E -I null.iso -d 
  disk0.img test
Launching virtual machine "test" ...
device emulation initialization error: Operation not supported by 
device
# bhyvectl --vm=test --destroy
# kldunload vmm


FWIW, there have been no changes on the BIOS, as can be seen vmm 
loads without issues or warnings.
I usually use vm-bhyve, but was trying to discard that by going 
back to the basics.

Would greatly appreciate pointers as to where to look in order to 
be able to use bhyve again :-).

This is the CPU as reported on dmesg:

Thanks in advance for any pointers!
