Actually, there are several workarounds known to work listed in this thread.

I've been running a stable x1800 using the rcu_nocbs=0-15 fixes noted above for almost a year now.

It's a nuanced hard to troubleshoot bug in a processor + support chipsets with a known workaround which only seems to happen on Linux... not really sure how that is "embarrassing". It sucks, it's new silicon. Welcome to being an early adopter.

Look at Intel's heart-bleed and all the other major security catastrophes they've had in recent history. Stuff happens. I do wish AMD would address it, but they're likely reluctant to bring it up until they have a reliable fix (if it even is a fix on their end)
