Note that this can not be made to be reliable without the
confidential errata for A4, A5, A6, A7, and A9.  Otherwise,
you can/will get spurious system hangs.

I rather expect that this is the reason it's "off by default",
on most systems, and why there is a "BIOS override" that
disables it, on others.
