Doh, you're absolutely right.  I'll fix to this when applying:

	/*
	 * Disable IPI virtualization for AMD Family 17h CPUs (Zen1 and Zen2)
	 * due to erratum 1235, which results in missed VM-Exits on the sender
	 * and thus missed wake events for blocking vCPUs due to the CPU
	 * failing to see a software update to clear IsRunning.
