what? I thought the AMD folks (Matt ??) had stated on the list that the 
BIOS makers did not need to do anything to enable AMD's hvm 
capabilities... that was sort of the neat thing about the AMD solution, it 
would work in any motherboard with the right socket because you didn't 
have to worry about whether the BIOS supported it or not... now it sounds 
like (at least in some versions) the BIOS makers are explicitly disabling 
it without providing a re-enable capability... ouch.
