Table 17.3 is not available in EBook-size builds.
For compatibility, remove reference to the combined table in Quick
Quiz added in commit 279c38a988f9 ("future/htm: Add some HTM
hardware-reliability anecdotes").

Hi Paul,
Current master fails to build "eb".
I think reference to Table 17.3 is not essential to the Quick Quiz
and just removed it.
If you think otherwise, it can be made conditional by \IfEbookSize{}{}.
Thanks, Akira
PS: As for hardware implementation of transactional memory,
Power ISA v3.1 deprecated it [1].
It might be worth mentioning it in the Answer to the QQ.
In the post specter world, it looks like almost impossible for hardware
designers to come up with a secure implementation of HTM...

But hasn't HTM hardware support been widely available
for almost a full decade?
