URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/396167

Log:
  Disable use of SSE instructions in Xorg's xf86SlowBcopy() function.

  When such instructions are used to copy data from/to mapped video
  memory, some hypervisors (e.g. KVM, Microsoft Hyper-V) can generate
  SIGILL or SIGBUS exceptions, causing Xorg to crash.
