At this point, uncertain if they will try to merge it into late 5.6-rc or wait for 5.7. But as with CPU microcode, I think intel have mostly stopped supporting Haswell and earlier, this probably only gets an appearance because of commercial customers running VMs on haswell. ĸen -- We hope and trust that our valued and loyal customers will bear with us in the coming months as we interact synergistically with change management in our striving for excellence.
