One stray thought I had: IFF the erratum is due to the cache flushing of
the higher C states, these two patches should still be correct while
also (possibly) avoiding the performance penalty, since C1* doesn't
flush caches yet.

Of course, I've no clue if this is indeed the root cause of this
particular erratum and I'm not sure you guys are allowed to say even if
you would know :/
