This patch is the missing piece that was required to make more recent HP amd64 machines. Including my new daily driver Elitebook with 11th gen Core i5. > I don't intend to commit this.

Have tried this patch on non-HP amd64 machines too; they all seem to work flawlessly. Thanks a million for this fix! Best, -J.
