Subject: Re: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 3/8] ARM: make lookup_processor_type()
non-__init
Same comments as for the 4.9 version of these patches, and also applies
to the two 3.18 patches as well. They aren't fixes, but preparation
for fixes, and should not be backported without the actual Spectre fix
patch (which probably requires manual backport effort.)
