Those refer to a different errata, see:

https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/84486d84-4452-af18-f7e7-753faf5a125d@xxxxxxxxxx/

So we believe this also affects Haswell, but the errata is not published
for those CPUs (yet at least). If/when it's published I'm happy to add
it, in the meantime I think we should go with what has been published
by Intel.

Roger.
