Come on, Intel is stressing like hell to get this thing fixed (I
estimate the cost of replacing the defective CPUs at around $5e9), but
they have certain restrictions like "please don't release this yet,
until we're sure it works". So they asked BSDI to "keep the lid on the
source for the fix for another -=*DAY*=- .
BSDI has signed an NDA with Intel, such that Intel has some control
over what gets said in public. Have you signed such an NDA? If Red Hat
would have had such an agreement in place with Intel, then the fix
would have been released for Linux at the same moment, under the same
restrictions.

Neither for Intel would this be acceptable. You can disable your cache
from the BIOS.
