This condition results in the following:

    driver_data     MSR_CORE_CAPS	 MSR_CORE_CAPS_SLD	SLD available

1       0             Don't care          Don't care               Y
2       1                N                Don't care               Y
3       1                Y                    Y                    Y
4       1                Y                    N                    N

#2 does not make any sense to me.

Thanks,
