Title:
  Cannot load kvm_amd module - (says disabled by bios)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  - Firt of all I would like to mention that this bug as been also raised for Fedora 18.
  Here is the link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=978608

  - I am running Ubuntu Raring (with the kernel 3.8.0-27-generic), but
  NOTE that I've also tried the new kernel 3.10 from Ubuntu Saucy.

  - It happens with the following CPU: AMD E-350D

  - The kvm-ok executable says that the system is capable of running
  KVM, but it also says the it's disabled in the BIOS.

  - This is the out put of kvm-ok:
  # kvm-ok
  INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist
  HINT:   sudo modprobe kvm_amd
  INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
  INFO: KVM (svm) is disabled by your BIOS
  HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT),
        and then hard poweroff/poweron your system
  KVM acceleration can NOT be used

  - This is what modprobe kvm-amd says:
  # modprobe kvm-amd
  ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_amd': Operation not supported
  root@yasna:~# dmesg |tail -n1
  [ 2542.263745] kvm: disabled by bios
