OK, but then we should probably extend Rudolf's patch to ask users potentially affected by the errata to report to us. The report should include the CPUID information (e.g. contents of /proc/cpuinfo), the output of sensors (or the raw temperature values from sysfs), and whether or not the user thinks the temperature values are correct. If we don't do that, I fear it will take forever before we can complete the blacklist. -- Jean Delvare
