By unconditionally defining the workaround code, even on kernels where
there is no chance of ever hitting this bug. I think that's a pretty
poor way to do it.
Can we please stick this in one of the intel.c files, so it's only
present on CPU_SUP_INTEL builds?
Which reminds me...

Does this *REALLY* only affect 64-bit kernels?
