[PATCH v4 09/36] x86/bugs: Only allow retbleed=stuff on Intel
From: David Kaplan
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 12:43:20 EST
The retbleed=stuff mitigation is only applicable for Intel CPUs affected
by retbleed. If this option is selected for another vendor, print a
warning and fall back to the AUTO option.
