Hi, according to the Intel manual 325462-sdm-vol-1-2abcd-3abcd-4-1.pdf page
409, 17.3.9.1 Instruction Based Considerations CPUID and other instructions
instructions will abort transactional execution on any implementation.
Conclusion, exesive usage just to linux kernel an cat /proc/cpuinfo can result
data loss?
Just ask.

People can remove cover from the box and inspect code of cpu and build
sistem acording to that code and use cpuid durring compilation process
but again sistem is unsure, ha, ha!
