Please check your facts. There is no "K6 cache speculation bug". There
is a problem with Athlon XP+ prefetching that is triggered by linux
doing something illegal to the x86 spec (creating mappings with conflicting 
cache types). Still it can only hit when you're using AGP extensively usually
only with some 3d graphic drivers. XFS definitely does not use AGP.
