Thanks for testing and helping along the way.

@Ingo: I'm sending the final patches as a reply to that mail.
Considering that the issue can be observed only on revA-C K8s _with_
broken BIOSes I can't say that it is that urgent. In that case we can
conveniently wait for the merge window for a wider exposure and testing;
I'm happy with whatever you decide.

Thanks.
