Actually, the more I look at this, the more I see various intermittent
reports with this and it is also impacting the mainline.
The problem is that the commit in question is causing a ton of messages
to be printed a boot and this sometimes is causing the boot test to fail
because the boot is taking too long. The console shows ...

There is a similar report of this [0] and I believe that we need a
similar fix for the above prints as well. I have reported this to Ard
[1]. So I am not sure that these Spectre BHB patches are quite ready for
stable.
Cheers
Jon
