I very much don't understand why Intel didn't disable AVX-512 on the P cores, unless and until the OS writes to a new MSR that means "I understand that the P cores can do AVX-512, while the E cores cannot", and then enable AVX-512 on the P cores.

Old OS versions continue to work fine, and newer OS versions can opt into the new world and benefit.
