Nehalem with NetBSD?



Is anyone successfully using a Nehalem ("Core i7") CPU with NetBSD/amd64?
I get panics trying to access various MSRs early in system boot -- the
first from est_init_once, but if we build a custom kernel with EST
disabled, then trying to read the core temperature sensor:

The cpu is an X3450.
