Hi,
I came across this bit when trying to fix the random boot freezes after
rebooting OpenBSD on the Skylake x260. It does not seem to improve things
on this particular machine but it might help others according to Linux.
I do not know if we should commit this, I am mostly sending this for
reference. If it fixes your machine or you think it is worth putting it
in let me know.
