[ale] Ouch for AMD

[Jim Kinney]

Looks like it mostly requires a new firmware upload to ditch the spooks. Unless they brick the box. Kernel loads cpu firmware on boot up.

Not saying the design fail is ok. It's a blow for AMD but not a nightmare like what Intel just ate with meltdown. 

The 24 hour notice was rather crappy and fuels the fire it was mostly for stock manipulation.

Anyone got any dirt on Apple? Amazon? Google?
