TL;DR...but definitely looks thorough.

One interesting point I did glean in skimming through it: Pentium 2 and 3 CPUs (and the Celeron/Xeon variants) ARE susceptible to S/M, and Pentium 4's "should be considered vulnerable." I have not previously seen such definitive statements about P2, P3, and P4.
