  * Does POWER have an undocumented backdoor? Of course, that is a proven
    fact.
  * Could they be disabled or at least partially removed?  No one knows.
  * Do modern x86 processors have undocumented backdoor? Of course, that is a
    proven fact.
 * Could they be disabled or at least partially removed?  Yes, as Rick Moen
