1 version out, change in bios is for "Update CPU microcode for win10 
support with Pentium AE"

Given that suse appear to have a kernel patch to fix this - not sure 
that flashing bios and all the pain that *could* cause is something I'm 
willing to do nor likely to help.

All that aside the main question in the thread is "Is this something 
that will eventually find it's way to us through kernel?"
