I also tried out 4.4 rc1 and got basically the same results as 4.3 with
the patch. Diff is attached - based of the previous 3 patches being
applied.

Hi Dan,
I recently just upgraded my rig platform from Haswell (Intel Core i7-4770 +
ASRock Z87 Extreme6) to Haswell-E (Intel Core i7-5820K + ASUS X99-A). I was
just using the exact kernel package files from my previous rig (actually I was
using the very same installation), but I can’t managed to get passthrough the
Windows boot screen (well, I can after like 10-20 minutes or so). The slow boot
issue came back! This is weird, since I had success using the obey patch you
refer previously on my Haswell build. Could it be there’re something difference
between the platform?
