Suggestion: âspectre_v2=offâ and ânoptiâ per default in "Intel Atom N270" case?

[Christian KrÃger]

Hi,

Since the old "in-order-execution" Intel CPUs like the Intel Atom N270 
(known for being installed in many Netbooks and Nettops) are not 
sensitive for "Meltdown" & "Spectre" , wouldn't it be a good idea to 
exclude these anyway "weak" CPUs from the costly patches by default?

Browsing the web, I can "feel the difference" if the matching kernel 
options are applied on such a device.
