Re:VirtualBox hotfix now available for OS X 10.8.2 problem

I'm curious to understand why only Ivy Bridge CPUs are affected, especially if this is a software accounting/refcounting bug. Also, there was talk about this not being an 10.8.2 bug, but a result of an EFI firmware upgrade. Anyone have any insight?

I'm not sure why only Ivy Bridge.
I can say though that the EFI firmware didn't cause the bug, but in fact the 10.8.2 software upgrade did.

By a quirk of how the updates were delivered, I have 10.8.2 on my Air, but the EFI firmware is still to be installed. VirtualBox is very dead (but I can't wait to get it going again!).
