Well, now that it's more than a year, I think the floor can be considered the likely destination. It would be nice to have an answer, but it's no longer likely.

I think a fall-back to #2 (set the bit for N28 chips) is the most reasonable. If all the other chips needed it, we'd have seen a flood of bug reports by now. It's not as if this bug isn't obvious. X is unusable until it's fixed.
