It does have the side effect that probing (and thus booting) is prolonged.
Depending on how much that is, it may be worth pondering if usage of the
smaller stride should be constrained to platforms that really need it
(assuming they can be detected/quirked).

Just claiming "has no side effects" is going out on a limb I think.
