            Bug ID: 214242
           Summary: FreeBSD Kernel does not boot on Opteron_G4 CPU (KVM
                    Guest)
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern

I have reproduced this across a couple of guests now. One was an upgrade from
10.3-RELEASE (Which works fine) the other is the bootonly installer image

All hang immediately after the boot menu (Shown in bootloader.png)

Attempts to enable verbose debugging do not produce any further output.

Removal of:

<cpu mode='host-model'>
    <model fallback='allow'/>
</cpu>

>From the libvirt XML allows the guest to boot with limited available
instruction sets (Shown in kvmlimited.png) this would lead me to believe that a
change in the 11 kernel has made it incompatible with a particular instruction
set that is present on an Opteron 6234 CPU

Guest boots fine using host-model CPU of an Intel E5 2620 (SandyBridge) host
(Shown in intelhost.png)

FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE loads fine using the host-model parameters of KVM on the
Opteron_G4 host (Shown in Opteron_G4 Features.png)

KVM / Qemu version of both hypervisors is 'QEMU emulator version 2.0.0 (Debian
2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.28)' and both hypervisors are running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
with libvirt 1.2.2
