Bug 239835: emulators/virtualbox-ose doesn't recognize AMD Ryzen 7 3800X "S=
VM"
feature - won't allow 64-bit guests

--- Description ---
H/W: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X CPU, MSI MEG X570 ACE MB (no option to enable or dis=
able
virtualization)

AMD Virtualization Reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization#AMD_virtualization_(AMD-V)

Relevant text:
'The CPU flag for AMD-V is "svm". This may be checked in BSD derivatives via
dmesg or sysctl and in Linux via /proc/cpuinfo.'

Previously created 64-bit VBox machines on earlier H/W and VBox are no long=
er
"defined" as 64-bit machines. All machine type selections are now 32-bit on=
ly
(see 'FBSD-VBox-5.2.18_no_64_bit.png' screen shot).

Attempting to start a previously configured 64-bit VM now results in an err=
or
message (see 'FBSD-VBox-5.2.18_no_VTx_AMD-V_HW.png' screen shot) which furt=
her
informs that CPU virtualization support is "missing".
