Only the BSDs were affected by the shared page issue.  I think Linux
already had a guard page.  I don't think Windows was affected by the
idle C-state issue.  I suspect it is caused by software not doing the
right thing during C-state transitions, but the publicly available
documentation from AMD is pretty lacking.  The random segfault issue is
primarily triggered by heavy parallel software build loads and how many
Windows users do that?
