Ah, but nobody cares about Cyrix systems. In fact, we're aiming for an
Intel-only society. Therefore, it's only natural that the scores of flaws
in Intel CPU's will be fixed up on bootup, and everybody else can just
suffer or buy Intel.

[yes I'm jesting, if it's not obvious. I don't even own an x86; my box is
an Alpha. but I still think the known x86 bugs should be fixed up on
bootup]
