Comment 777 for bug 1690085

As a last resort, I've tried `idle=halt` on this machine. And yet my
system just crashed after 3 weeks of uptime.

I'm done with AMD. I will RMA this processor to try things out, but
overall, if that doesn't work, this thing is headed to the junkyard and
I'm going to live with Intel.

At least in the 13 or so odd Intel systems I've tried, I've not had
exhasperating issues like these where the company is positively trying
to ignore this ongoing issue.

This is disgusting from AMD.
