So I'm obviously much in favor of this - I'd in fact suggest making
the conservative choice on _all_ CPU models that have aggressive TLB
range values right now, because frankly the testing used to pick those
values does not look all that convincing to me.

I very much suspect that the problem goes wider than just IvyBridge
CPUs ... it's just that few people put as much testing into it as you.

We can certainly get more aggressive in the future, subject to proper
measurements.

Thanks,

Ingo
