It works for me too. Now I have to decide whether to install my new
CPU, scheduled to arrive this week, or return it.
Your call of course, but if this issue is the only reason for changing
CPUs I would be inclined not to proceed. Assuming the fix survives
further testing, I would expect it to become part of the mainline
kernel fairly soon, hopefully within the window where you have to
decide.
