--- Comment #1 from Chris Rees <crees@FreeBSD.org> ---
Thanks for your report.  I think the issue is now described by the second
paragraph:

The bhyve design requires a processor that supports Intel=C2=AE Extended Pa=
ge Tables
(EPT) or AMD=C2=AE Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI) or Nested Page Table=
s (NPT).
Hosting Linux=C2=AE guests or FreeBSD guests with more than one vCPU requir=
es VMX
unrestricted mode support (UG). Most newer processors, specifically the Int=
el=C2=AE
Core=E2=84=A2 i3/i5/i7 and Intel=C2=AE Xeon=E2=84=A2 E3/E5/E7, support thes=
e features. UG support
was introduced with Intel's Westmere micro-architecture. For a complete lis=
t of
Intel=C2=AE processors that support EPT, refer to
http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced?s=3Dt&ExtendedPageTables=3Dtrue. RVI i=
s found
on the third generation and later of the AMD Opteron=E2=84=A2 (Barcelona) p=
rocessors.
The easiest way to tell if a processor supports bhyve is to run dmesg or lo=
ok
in /var/run/dmesg.boot for the POPCNT processor feature flag on the Feature=
s2
line for AMD=C2=AE processors or EPT and UG on the VT-x line for Intel=C2=
=AE processors.
