Thank you. I spent most of the day yesterday and today being outside so
appreciate you doing all the work :-)

In the future - please mangle the subject of the patches in the git tree as
GPG does not encrypt the Subject: header nor the inline GPG
(filename=0006-x86-spec_store_bypass-Provide-boot-parameters-to-sel.patch)
so all the names of the patches are visible.

Borislav wants it to be inline with Intel's MDD so will use the same
