We really should find a proper software probing solution for this
instead of having a gazillion of brand strings plus micro code version
checks around for this.
Why cant the HW folks release a micro code version which fixes the
obviously wreckaged CPUID enumeration of this feature instead of
burdening us with that horror?
Can you please find a proper sized clue bat and whack your HW folks
over the head for this insanity?
Thanks,
