Subject: [PATCH 3.16 43/63] x86/speculation: Clean up various Spectre
 related details

3.16.58-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org>

commit 21e433bdb95bdf3aa48226fd3d33af608437f293 upstream.

Harmonize all the Spectre messages so that a:

    dmesg | grep -i spectre

... gives us most Spectre related kernel boot messages.

Also fix a few other details:

 - clarify a comment about firmware speculation control

 - s/KPTI/PTI

 - remove various line-breaks that made the code uglier
