Lynxeye and to quote from your link

However, unconditionally disabling UMIP for virtual-8086 tasks could be exploited by malicious applications. Hence, disabling UMIP for such kind of tasks is allowed only if the kernel parameter 'umip=novm86' is used. Rather than using the more modern clearcpuid=1234 format for the kernel parameters, we use umip={no|novm86}. This is because the former does cannot cover the three configuration states of UMIP.

did someone tested

umip=novm86

?

[hwertz]

Yeah, umip=novm86 or if that doesn't work, umip=no (it's a bit more readable than clearcpuid=514 .)

[DRanged]

Did umip=no or umip=novm86 actually make it in to the kernel parameters, because when I read the whole lot it isn't very clear.
Besides that I cannot find it on the kernel parameter list (clearcpuid is there)

Nope. A later version of the patch changed it to the universally used (albeit a bit more obscure unless you look up the cpu features docs) clearcpuid approach.

Thought so. My desktop is a x470 Ryzen 5 3600 with GTX 1070. In dmesg I can see umip entries sofar I have not incurred issues with wine-staging or steam linux, mind you I only play WoW and Diablo3 via Battle.net launcher and Civ5 andCov6 with Steam Linux.
Only thing I can think of I've been lucky.

ASRock x470 Master SLI, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1070, 16GB mem, Debian testing (bullseye).
Lenovo Legion y520, Intel i7, GTX 1050, 16GB, 16GB mem, Debian testing (bullseye), with Nvidia drivers, can
still run for 3 to 5 hrs depending what I do.
