Give it a try on your 128 core system:

I just tried it again with the sources of today. On the 128 core system
I can kldload vmm and use virtual machines just fine.

However, on the 32-bit ampere system the system becomes completely
unresponsive everytime I do kldload vmm and requires a reboot.

Does anyone else has the same problem on an Ampere eMAG  system?
