New Revision: 331466
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/331466

Log:
  Add a workaround to the hypervisor detection for older versions of KVM.
  
  Originally KVM set %eax to 0 in the cpuid leaf 0x4000000 rather than
  to the highest supported leaf in the hypervisor "branch".  Detect this
  case and fixup the %eax value so that the hypervisor is still
  detected.
