Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC 1/5] cpu/speculation: Add 'cpu_spec_mitigations='
 cmdline options

Thinking about this more, we can shave off the first 4 chars and have it
be:

spec_mitigations=

I think it is painfully clear which speculation mitigations we mean. And
the other switches don't have "cpu_" prefixes too so...
