This is basically the opposite of what we just did for IMC.

There we switched from present to possible, to make it work when some
CPUs are guarded.

Which makes me think we need a better way of dealing with guarded CPUs,
because working out which code should use present or possible seems to
be basically trial-and-error.

I'm not actually sure why Guarded CPUs are showing up as possible but
not present, did we do that on purpose or is it just happening by
accident?

I can merge this, but we need to make this less bug prone in future.

cheers
