Furthermore, it is very unlikely to be 2 months, from the info
provided/leaked so far, it seems that Broadwell-E/Broadwell-EP are the
first CPUs to have fixed TSX again, and Haswell-E has only been released
a month ago.  Note, Haswell-E usually seems to have TSX disabled already in
BIOS, so microcode_ctl doesn't do anything regarding TSX there.
