Yes there is no clean way currently to enable this errata for
multiplatform.

>>From what I remember the plan was to try to come up with a
multiplatform friendly way of doing this errata. Santosh,
any suggestions here? Should we just remove the code as it
seems nobody has complained about it for a few years now?
