Yes, that's true for HSW/BDW and non-affected BYT/CHT.

Like I mentioned here is no possibility to know which platform we run
on.

Would you like to test this on a real device? We can provide you a
login.

Do you have any solution how?

Rough approach is to turn on it on channel allocation and turn off on
freeing resources. The obvious downside of this solution is power
consumption of idling device.

In any case it might be done in the future and it's not a scope of this
series.
