Processor support for bhyve

I am trying to determine if my processor supports bhyve. Just reading the 21.7. FreeBSD as a Host with bhyve page. I can find the POPCNT flag when grepping /var/run/dmesg.boot but can't find a line with VT-x. In particular:

Code: 
CPU: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 3380  (2600.05-MHz K8-class CPU)
  Origin="AuthenticAMD"  Id=0x600f20  Family=0x15  Model=0x2  Stepping=0
  Features=0x178bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT>
  Features2=0x3e98320b<SSE3,PCLMULQDQ,MON,SSSE3,FMA,CX16,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,POPCNT,AESNI,XSAVE,OSXSAVE,AVX,F16C>
  AMD Features=0x2e500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,FFXSR,Page1GB,RDTSCP,LM>
  AMD Features2=0x1ebbfff<LAHF,CMP,SVM,ExtAPIC,CR8,ABM,SSE4A,MAS,Prefetch,OSVW,IBS,XOP,SKINIT,WDT,LWP,FMA4,TCE,NodeId,TBM,Topology,PCXC,PNXC>
  Structured Extended Features=0x8<BMI1>
  SVM: NP,NRIP,VClean,AFlush,DAssist,NAsids=65536
  TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics

And:

Code: 
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor (3210.89-MHz K8-class CPU)
  Origin="AuthenticAMD"  Id=0x100f42  Family=0x10  Model=0x4  Stepping=2
  Features=0x178bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT>
  Features2=0x802009<SSE3,MON,CX16,POPCNT>
  AMD Features=0xee500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,FFXSR,Page1GB,RDTSCP,LM,3DNow!+,3DNow!>
  AMD Features2=0x37ff<LAHF,CMP,SVM,ExtAPIC,CR8,ABM,SSE4A,MAS,Prefetch,OSVW,IBS,SKINIT,WDT>
  SVM: NP,NRIP,NAsids=64
  TSC: P-state invariant

However bhyve wiki page says that Barcelona or later processors support bhyve, and both processors above came after Barcelona.

Does it mean that my processor doesn't support bhyve or that there is an error in the documentation and it should rather read:

The easiest way to tell if a processor will support bhyve is to run dmesg or look in /var/run/dmesg.boot for the POPCNT processor feature flag on the Features2 (AMD) line or EPT and UG on the VT-x (Intel) line.
 
I wasn't pretending that I don't know the answer ;-) So, am I to understand that either of those needs to be present, not both, and my processor indeed supports bhyve?

What's r48526? An update to the document? If yes, then may be worth mentioning what's already stated in the bhyve wiki, or adding a link to the wiki, namely, that some, notably the "Kuma" core processors include POPCNT but lack the required "NRIPS" (Next RIP Save) feature.

It does start, but I get this trying to install CentOS 7 Minimal 2009:

And it hangs (obviously). Is it a problem with my CPU? It worked on an i7-4770, but not this beast. Trying to set up a build environment for code check-in validation.
