SmartOS don't boot on Zotac Z68ITX-A-E about smartos-live

Setting the "Limit CPUID Maximum" to "Disabled" in the BIOS allows the OS to boot :)

Thanks Amos Hayes.

Should one need to know, the CPU is:

We'll keep this around to track the underlying problem, for now the workaround is the one mentioned above, changing the limit cpuid maximum.
