With two commits by Pratik Vyas (pd@), vmm(4) support for i386 host systems has been deleted (one can still run i386 guests under vmm on an amd64 host). The commit messages explain the reasoning behind this move:
CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: src Changes by: pd@cvs.openbsd.org 2019/01/17 18:24:07 Modified files: distrib/sets/lists/base: md.i386 usr.sbin/vmctl : Makefile usr.sbin/vmd : Makefile Log message: disable vmd/vmctl for i386 Next commit will delete vmm(4) for i386. Reasons to delete i386 vmm: - Been broken for a while, almost no one complained. - Had been falling out of sync from amd64 while it worked. - If your machine has vmx, you most probably can run amd64, so why not run that? ok mlarkin@ deraadt@
