Avoid speculative indirect calls in kernel
This seems unnecessary hostile. It's quite obvious that these patches had to be completed in a hurry, and in addition to any number of similar patches for other systems. Configurability is currently useless for Intel CPUs, as all of them seem to be affected.<p>Depending on how their CPU development pipeline works, it's quite likely that even the next generation will still be affected, giving everyone plenty of time later for such niceties.<p>It's also slightly too harsh to call all of Intel's work "crap" when this bug has apparently existed for the better part of two decades without being noticed.
