A significant performance degradation due to normal use of the instruction (FSRM) not otherwise documented is a correctness problem. Especially considering that the workaround is to avoid using the CPU feature in many cases. People pay for this CPU feature now they need kernel tooling to warn them when they fallback to some slower workaround because of an alignment issue way up the stack.
