As per SDM rev 071 Cannon Lake has
- no CC3 residency MSR at 3FC,
- a CC1 residency MSR ar 660 (like various Atoms),
- a useless (always zero) CC3 residency MSR at 662.

Using the MSR cross reference in the same SDM revision one might even
get the impression that further MSRs are unavailable, but newer CPUs
don't appear to be consistently listed there at all, so may rather be a
doc shortcoming. I've pointed this out to Intel, but I'm not expecting
swift feedback.

We might consider dropping Cannon Lake.  It did ship 1 limited-release
parts, but only for laptop/tablet SKUs, and there is a reason why it has
been totally discontinued.

There is a very good chance that this is logic which will never be
exercised.

How would you envision "dropping" to look like: Do you mean just to
remove the case label here (and perhaps similar ones elsewhere), or
outright refuse booting on it?

In both cases if I were to submit such a change I'm afraid I'd want
to be a little less vague in the description than to just say "there
is a reason why it has been totally discontinued".

Just dropping the case labels.  No point going out of the way to
prohibit booting as, even with these dropped, the result would be
generally usable.

Its not really a secret.  It was an experiment with a 10nm lithography
process which didn't pan out.  It has been formally discontinued.
