The AMD that ships with NetBSD is the BSD 4.4 one.  That, I believe, is 5.2.

Version 5.3 never quite came out of beta, and there were a number of UPL
releases (Unofficial Patch Levels).  Last time I looked AMD was up to
5.3UPL100 something.

One of the features added in one of the unofficial patches was the very feature
you mention.  Last I hear, though, it was pretty buggy (but that was a while
ago; it might be better now).

I am pretty sure this is actually true, unfortunately.  I remember seeing
some patches to make AMD support V3, though.
