Nothing much recent. There have been a couple of forks working in that
direction:

https://github.com/jclulow/illumos-kvm

https://github.com/chneukirchen/illumos-kvm

One problem, I imagine, is that those people with the skills to add
AMD support don't have any AMD hardware, as it's almost completely
vanished from the market.
