I have never used DPDK on anything.  I was hoping never to do so. :)

This system has so far booted Debian (with a 4.19 kernel) and our own OS
(which has a 4.9 kernel).

Here is the register dump after a full power off:

Pretty sure that is identical to before.

If I dump the registers after doing the update I see this (just did a
reboot this time, not a power cycle):

So at least it appears the update did apply.
