[PATCH v2 5/5] arm64/speculation: Support 'mitigations=' cmdline option

Josh Poimboeuf
2019-04-12T20:39:32Z

Configure arm64 runtime CPU speculation bug mitigations in accordance
with the 'mitigations=' cmdline option. This affects Meltdown, Spectre
v2, and Speculative Store Bypass.

The default behavior is unchanged.
