I installed 151006p last night on my AMD FX-8150 and compiled
https://github.com/estibi/illumos-kvm/tree/my_amd_merge today.
I successfully loaded it and am currently installing Ubuntu under KVM
right now. So, it's a success for me. Someone on IRC with an older AMD
processor said he had the same problem as you.

Also, hi there -- I'm a complete noob to Solaris-style UNIX, being
quite familiar with Linux and somewhat with OS X. KVM on AMD was a
prereq for using this, as the only Intel box I have is a MacBook Pro.
