Yes, the implementation ignores INIT de-assert. Quoting the spec:

"(INIT Level De-assert) (Not supported in the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon
processors.)"

Your patch below is not improving the implementation to be closer to the
spec: it'll trigger the INIT state initialization with trig_mode == 0
(which is not in accordance with your spec quote above).
