Hi Alan,
You sortof can[1]. Borislav Petkov answered that they do
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/17/85 and quoted the manual at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/29/414 saying that this should be ok.
[1] There is no delicate way of putting it. I've no idea what the
current status of current and former AMD kernel developers is.
