However, there are AMD BIOSes out there which allow for disabling of either features and thus preventing kernels from booting due to the CMP disappearing and thus breaking the logic in the memmove() function. Similar observation happens on some VM migration scenarios. Patch the proper sequences depending on which feature is enabled.
