If that commit really fixes the "issue" on your machine then you
shouldn't have been experiencing any softlockups etc, i.e., what this
bugzilla is about, but rather a software deadlock.

Which would mean that your machine is not necessarily affected by the
entering into a C-state with MWAIT and not waking up after, issue.
