Given that the c5 instances are Skylake, and I read somewhere that
there’s some special edge-case for Skylake and later CPUs, is this
reproducible on proper hardware, or is it limited to KVM (prior to AWS’s
c5s, the hypervisors were xen).

I’ve got a couple of Skylake machines available, and will install sssd
and see what happens.

Cheers,
David
