http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_11541,00.html
the following:
Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) is only enabled by certain operating
systems including the current versions of Microsoft(R) Windows(R),
Linux, Solaris and BSD Unix. After properly installing the appropriate
operating system release, users must enable the protection of their
applications and associated files from buffer overrun attacks.
I did a few searches and didn't find references to NetBSD.
What is this Enhanced Virus Protection for BSD Unix?
Do we support this AMD feature? If so, maybe we should use AMD's jargon to
describe it also so it can be found via google.
