never attribute to malice which can be adequately explained by incompetence.
- ajross 5y agoYou don't misname a performance hack or bug workaround or whatever this is as a "PCI Driver" by "incompetence" (quite literally it's got nothing to do with any device enumerable on the PCI buses -- it tweaks MSRs on the local CPU!). This was very clearly an attempt at obfuscation. We don't know why (or even what it does), but anyone can see what it is.
