Has this problem anyhow seriously been addressed? I run into this very ofte=
n on several
platforms with HAswell-based CPUs (other systems with IvyBridge or SandyBri=
dge are still
to be migrated to UEFI boot, so I do not have any older architectures at ha=
nd to proof
whether this issue is still present or not on Non-AVX2 systems.

If there is no progress so far, would it be well-advised to open a PR?
