Ok, just for future reference, this information is like 10x more important than
*any* of the other information you presented in various changelog versions of
this patch! I do not have this hardware so i had no idea how severe the problem
was in practice - whether it's cosmetic, performance related or stability
related.

I'll push your urgent fix to Linus via tip:x86/urgent.

Thanks,

Ingo
