And as far as I could find from Intel's not-that-complete public "specification updates", we are applying the errata workaround to a few more processors than strictly required, but since I have no idea how to write a test case, I can't whitelist the 3rd-gen Pentium M on my T43, nor can I get ThinkPad owners to test it for us on 1st and 2nd-gen Pentium M and report back.
Which specific erratum are you referring to, here? The "WC becomes UC" erratum? I don't think there is a sane testcase for it since it needs a very complicated setup to trigger.
