That's way better. But as you might have noticed yourself this conflicts
with the other patch which excludes these machines from the SWAPGS bug.

Granted it's a trivial conflict, but maintainers are not there to mop up
the mess others create. So the right thing here is to resend both
patches as a patch series with the conflict properly resolved.

Thanks,
