This patch needs to be based on recent changes in TSX handling (due to
Feb 2022 microcode update). These patches were recently merged in tip
tree:

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86/urgent

Specifically these patches:

   x86/tsx: Use MSR_TSX_CTRL to clear CPUID bits [1]
   x86/tsx: Disable TSX development mode at boot [2]

Thanks,
Pawan
