Extremely, it is accurately telling us that only half of the patches
were applied...

After that when it does shout, it just saved your system. However, even
after fixing it to the best of our knowledge, it is still a far too
regular occurrence (playing video seems to have just the right
combination of turbo and rc6 to trigger it reliably) and even though it is
a calamity we do now expect it to be seen in the wild and so will reduce
the severity of the warning.
