This doesn't seem to fix a regression -- I don't think the CLAC was
ever there.

I double-checked in a debugger: entries through the int80 gate do
not automatically clear AC.

Stable maintainers: I can provide a backport to 4.3 and earlier if
needed.  This needs to be backported all the way to 3.10.
