Bah., I think the reason was that nobody knew what - if any - any hardware.
I did find an Intel "Product Brief" for "Intel® Xeon® 6 processors
with E-cores" that claim both LASS and LAM, but that one puts LAM as a
"security feature", so that seems a bit confused. That's Redwood Cove
cores, I think.
I guess that should mean that Meteor Lake ("Core Ultra") should also
have it? Or is it then turned off because the E cores don't do it?
I do find LASS - but not LAM - mentioned in the "Intel Core Ultra (PS
series)" datasheet.
And there's a Intel Core Ultra 200V datasheet (1 of 2) that does
mention both LAM and LASS. So I guess now it *really* exists.
Can somebody confirm?
But yeah, I guess we should just do this:
