You probably should upload it here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206537

instead and then point to it in the docs. And by "docs" I mean, putting
all that nice text below which I've snipped in here:

Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/

for future reference. Look at the docs there for an idea how to
structure it.

I have come to appreciate our documentation a lot these days when I've
forgotten all about those nightmares but needed to refresh them back in
my L1.

Thx.
