Some Intel CPUs are known to have a broken TSX implementation. A microcode update from Intel disabled TSX on those CPUs, but GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID might be reporting it as supported if the hosts were not updated yet.
Manually fixup the GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID data to ensure we will never enable TSX when running on those hosts.
