Hi Greg,

I have a different question - why is this patch not findable on any
LKML lists? lore.kernel.org does not have it. Neither has mine inbox
tracking most of the lists (also main linux-kernel). Maybe subject
changed?

Do we have another process of sending patches for fast inclusion in
the Linux kernel? Is addressing a HW vulnerability?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
