Oh!  Well that's not good... :-(

I'll try and nudge a person I know there on that...

Currently waiting to see if it percolates down through the distro chains 
(we're on RHEL, but I saw that Ubuntu has passed it on).

However, we've only got Skylake and KNL on the system I'm working on, though 
we may inherit older nodes at some point when the older system gets 
decommissioned.

All the best,
Chris
