Ah, so the CPUID value is showing X86_FEATURE_AMD_IBPB (not sure why the
cpuid command was showing a value of zero for EBX in your previous email).
Let me see what I can find out about this processor/firmware relation. I
wouldn't expect to see the #GP given that the firmware says IBPB is
supported.

Thanks,
Tom
