a second time with 0x00000002. Obviously these overlap for CPUs with
product code 1 (testing bit mask 0x00000002), which is what is the case
for the (Paxville) system I saw the ill behavior on.

Ok, in that case, yes, I agree that the driver should be corrected to deal with multiple chunks.

Kind regards
