[DN:] When you say that that's the "main" one, do you mean that there are also other features that an AMD processor must have, besides RVI, to be compatible with bhyve, but that might be absent in some AMD processors with RVI? If so, what other features should I look for? (I'm now shopping around for dedicated server hosting for a forthcoming demo of the possible bhyve front end I mentioned earlier. To that end, I need to find an otherwise inexpensive server with a processor on which bhyve can run.)
