Well, in the end I dumped the EC contents from windows several times and 
compared the static values with those in the dump from linux. From your 
reply I understand that you are thinking that register 0xe6 is not SFHK 
on machines that the previous patch broke.... That sounds reasonable.

My concern was that SFHK required a different value on those machines, 
but I am not at all familiar with common practice.

Just a note, I found several other registers with static, non-zero 
values, which are zero in linux.
