Hm, no, I don't, sorry. I don't even have an email record of it now,
perhaps it went to my @intel.com and has long expired?

Anyway, I seem to remember you asking to have a disable bit and I
implemented it in commit d45333294da8, which you reviewed, but I have no
record of you asking for it even though I think you did :)
