No bugs is good, but does it actually fix the meltdown problem?  What
did you test it on?

And why are you making this patchset up?  What is wrong with the patches
in the android-common tree for this?

You need to start versioning this changeset, as I have no idea if this
is the "latest" one or not, right?

Or have you not sent out this patchset before?  How does this interact
with the "spectre" patches?  Or am I totally confused here?
