> It's an old family fh processor (CPUID 00020F42) that
cpu_has_amd_erratum(amd_erratum_400) apparently hasn't picked up. Since
all fh processors are affected by this erratum I'll replace "c->x86 >=
0xf" with "c->x86 > 0xf" (and probably fix erratum formula anyway).

Hi, what's the status of this please?

I don't see the fix neither in the -next tree.
