Unfortunately, they don't describe what they do, and "mitigation" has
a weaker sound than "fix" to me, but maybe they mean a proper hardware
fix. That would be the best case. The worst case would be that they
just have added instructions or a special mode for disabling
speculation.
Maybe they just followed my advice on deferring state updates until
after retirement.
