Any objections to me adding a printk message that we applied a fix?

pr_info("x86/cpu/AMD: CPU erratum 688 worked around\n");

or so?

That would also create some pressure for customers to prod manufacturers to prod
BIOS makers to fix the erratum in a BIOS update or so.

Plus, in the unlikely event that the erratum was not applied due to some other
erratum, or the erratum was mis-documented, we'd eventually discover that as well.

Thanks,

Ingo
