Thanks for reporting, but a brief explanation would've been appreciated.

I can make an semi-educated guess at how it works, but I'll refrain from that, to avoid the risk of spreading misinformation if I'm wrong.

Lol, Intel is still in full damage-control mode: again trying to throw obvious design errors (Meltdown) and actual speculation problems (Spectre) in the same bucket.
