Hi,
Buried behind EXPERT is the ability to build a kernel without
SSBD, this needlessly clutters up the code as well as creates
the opportunity for bugs. It also removes the kernel's ability
to determine if the machine its running on is vulnerable.
I don't know the original motivation for this config option, typically
they are not around for no reason.
I see the benefit of dropping those config options, but we want to make
sure that people don't start hacking around to remove them again.
Since its also possible to disable it at boot time, lets remove
the config option.
Given the level of optimisation a compiler can do with the state being
known at compile time, I would imagine that it's not the same (though
probably very close).

But that's not my call, it would be good to hear some maintainer's
opinion on this.

Apart from the nit mentioned below, the technical part looks correct to
me (also compile tested).

Wouldn't this be a good opportunity to move this declaration outside of
this function, so that it looks less awkward?

Cheers,
Andre.
