Yeah, it's the TSX-Force-Abort acronym - Intel has numbed our general
dislike to random acrynyms ...

Peter and me usually fix such changelog context omissions, but this one
slipped through. :-/

The commit is too deep down perf/core already to rebase it just for the
changelog, but if we are going to rebase it for some functional reason
I'll take care of it next time around.

TFA. (Thanks For your Assistance. :-)
