We value the bug reports as without them we wouldn't be able support many 
CPUs properly. We try to get fixes completed as soon as possible, but 
it may take some time for changes in source to trickle out in new 
clients builds. We are also hampered by incomplete information and 
changes Intel/AMD etc. make without documentation as well as a lack of 
time from our volunteers.

*
To complete the fix we absolutely require the complete client outputs 
generated when run with the -cpuinfo option as well as -bench. These must
be from the latest client version, often the pre-release version.
*

Sometimes the newest version is not available for the platform the reporter is 
using, as such we may have to wait for information from a newer build.

Because we don't have direct access to the hardware, we cannot test the 
fixes, as such there are sometimes cases were we don't get it right the 
first time.

In my humble opinion, don't bother.
