This nicely summarizes the work that had to be done.

Hats off to the developers that got all this done on a tight deadline. These are fairly substantial changes, akin to implementing the code for a significant new Intel microarchitecture.

But, the amazing contortions necessary are quite disappointing. Intel isn't going to live this down for a while.
