Change your code to not trigger the bug, and leave that workaround there for the next decade or so until the buggy CPU generation isn't relevant anymore.

Or hope for microcode updates to fix the bug at the CPU level.

That's my point ... it's a lot harder to do this than to just fix it in your own code.
