Subject: [PATCH] SYSFS reporting of L1TF on PowerPC.

L1TF affects PowerPC of the same range as Meltdown-US.
I tested it personally:
https://github.com/google/safeside/pull/52
and it is also admitted in the IBM report:
https://www.ibm.com/blogs/psirt/potential-impact-processors-power-family/
Similarly to Meltdown it is effectively mitigated by the rfi_flush.
