I meant that the TLB-flushing effect of wbinvd isn't there.

I think it must be true for the PPro. They would have issued a
documentation change otherwise. They probably decided that they didn't
want to be held to it in future processors. I'd be interested to know
if any of the P6 processors don't TLB flush on wbinvd.
