Looks to me like we have two patches floating about for more or less the
same problem, this one, and...

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/29/159

..this one, which you reviewed, and HP both reviewed and tested.

We seem to kinda stuck with Boris having said don't diddle the
cpu_llc_shared_map, but HP/Intel saying that this map diddling fixes
their explosions.  If your alternative is preferred over diddling
cpu_llc_shared_map, perhaps HP/Intel can test/confirm that their
explosions stay gone?
