Bitmain confirmed that their chips support ASICBOOST and it can be used for
mining:
https://blog.bitmain.com/en/regarding-recent-allegations-smear-campaigns/
They claim that they don't use it on mainnet, but that claim cannot be
verified. it is possible to do covert ASICBOOST in a 100% covert manner.
(It can be done without "transaction reordering" so it's not worth
analyzing blocks etc.)
