bhyve with AMD Ryzen 3900X and MSI MEG ACE X570

[Christian Jeannot]

Hello Henrik,

many thanks for your information.

I have checked the MSI forum entry. They say that the information about 
SVM in the overclocking section could be wrong.

As I do not see this value somewhere else where I can configure it it 
seems to me that this output in this BIOS part is not correct.

I will try to find a way to confogure SVM in the BIOS or contact MSI 
about that.

Regards
