Intel microcode updates.
# cpuid | egrep 'IBRS|STI'
Speculation Control (IBRS and IBPB)

There are some backported fixes which have not been published to the IPS repositories as they correct rarely seen problems and would force a reboot. These are:
- Extended attribute kernel panic - illumos issue 8969
- IPv6 multicast-related kernel panic - illumos issue 8653 - available for r151024 only.
Downloadable hot-fix files have been made available for these issues; refer to the release notes for further information.
Finally, support for booting from a RAIDZ2 or RAIDZ3 pool has been added to r151024 and new installation media have been produced and are available on the download page.
