Notes

 carnil> Claimed to affect versions before Linux kernel version 5.5.
 carnil> Not adding fixed versions as wanting to try to pinpoint the
 carnil> respective needed commits for correct tracking.
 carnil> Per Intel, this was fixed by a firmware update. v49.0.1 of the
 carnil> firmware is required. The new firmware requires a kernel patch

 carnil> So might not be treaded as Linux issue itself.
 bwh> Let's treat it as both firmware and kernel, similar to CPU issues
 bwh> that need both microcode and kernel changes.
