So what do I exactly need to do if I have ine if the affected CPUs? What specifically do I need to patch?

You'll want to upgrade your system BIOS when your board vendor makes this fix available.

I'm not an expert, but reading the posts here the answer seems to be "nothing." The only people affected by this already know how to prevent it.

Nothing. It sounds like it only affects a very small number of people, but the general public has no need to worry.
