It was only under an #ifdef because at the time our CST implementation couldn't handle CST changes cleanly. I had added some support for it, but since it couldn't be tested, I wasn't sure how actual hardware would behave.

I think it's fine to enable now. I think 2007-era Thinkpads were some of the first to add this feature.
