Upstream and in v4.9, the meltdown patches came before the spectre
patches, and doing this in the opposite order causes context problems

Given that, I think it would be less surprising to do the meltdown
backport first, though I apprecaite that's more work to get these
patches in. :/

I attempted meltdown backport in the last two days and the amount of
extra patches to be backported is enormous. And I am not sure if
everything is alright as well now, and things will greatly rely on
reviews from you for it.

For this series, what about just backporting for now to account for
CSV3 ? And attempting meltdown backport separately later ?
