The NOP impact is a bit wider than what i'd like, but it addresses the
VirtualPC regression and it's what Peter tested - and also Peter's
solution of turning enhanced NOPs into a virtual CPUID flag that is
tested before use is kind of elegant IMO and reduces some of the mess
and risks.
The memory leak fixes are old commits freshly cherry-picked over from
another branch (i already ran a few test builds and test boots of it) -
they have a lot of test time already otherwise, i just missed their .27
impact.
Thanks,
Ingo
