ok 2017-10-10: vm4 - supported cpu models for x86_64 arch:
tingo@kg-vm4:~$ virsh --connect qemu:///system cpu-models x86_64 486 pentium pentium2 pentium3 pentiumpro coreduo n270 core2duo qemu32 kvm32 cpu64-rhel5 cpu64-rhel6 kvm64 qemu64 Conroe Penryn Nehalem Westmere SandyBridge IvyBridge Haswell-noTSX Haswell Broadwell-noTSX Broadwell Skylake-Client athlon phenom Opteron_G1 Opteron_G2 Opteron_G3 Opteron_G4 Opteron_G5 ok.
2017-10-10: vm4 - with --cpu Opteron_G5 or Opteron_G4 FreeBSD 10.4 hangs, with Opteron_G3 it boots.
2017-10-10: vm4 - ok, setting --cpu kvm64 seems to help
tingo@kg-vm4:~$ virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name kvm2 --memory 512 --cpu kvm64 --vcpus 1 --cdrom ~/dl/bsd/fbsd/10.4/FreeBSD-10.4-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso --os-variant=freebsd10.3 --disk size=10 --virt-type=kvm --network=default --console pty,target_type=virtio WARNING Graphics requested but DISPLAY is not set.

and now I can use the install in virt-viewer.
2017-10-10: kvm2 - setting hw.use_xsave=0 in the boot loader doesn't help, the kernel still hangs.
2017-10-10: this seems to be a bug, se FreeBSD bug 213155,
2017-10-10: vm4 - let me create another test kvm machine, and install 10.4 on it.
tingo@kg-vm4:~$ virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name kvm2 --memory 512 --cpu host --vcpus 1 --cdrom ~/dl/bsd/fbsd/10.4/FreeBSD-10.4-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso --os-variant=freebsd10.4 --disk size=10 --virt-type=kvm --network=default --console pty,target_type=virtio ERROR Error validating install location: Distro 'freebsd10.4' does not exist in our dictionary
ok, fix that
tingo@kg-vm4:~$ virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name kvm2 --memory 512 --cpu host --vcpus 1 --cdrom ~/dl/bsd/fbsd/10.4/FreeBSD-10.4-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso --os-variant=freebsd10.3 --disk size=10 --virt-type=kvm --network=default --console pty,target_type=virtio WARNING Graphics requested but DISPLAY is not set. Not running virt-viewer. WARNING No console to launch for the guest, defaulting to --wait -1 Starting install... Allocating 'kvm2.qcow2' | 10 GB 00:00:00 Creating domain... | 0 B 00:00:00 Domain installation still in progress. Waiting for installation to complete.
and run virt-viewer from a "ssh -Y" shell
tingo@kg-vm4:~$ virt-viewer --wait --connect qemu:///system kvm2
then install and finish. Unfortunately, it hangs at boot again.
