Don and I discussed this offline. Given that his comments make good sense
to me, I'm hesitant to apply the quirk to anything other than what the spec
update says, given that its clear. Don is attempting to contact people at Intel
who will be able (we hope) to give us a definitive answer on this, please hold
on this patch until we have resolution on the issue.
