Hello,
Hi Viresh,
This series backports arm64 spectre patches to v4.4 stable kernel. I
have started this backport with Mark Rutland's backport of Spectre to
4.9 [1] and tried applying the upstream version of them over 4.4 and
resolved conflicts by checking how they have been resolved in 4.9.

The KVM changes are mostly dropped as the KVM code in v4.4 is quite
different and it makes backport more complex. This was suggested by the
ARM team.
I'm reviewing this backport now, but it's going to take me a few days to
get through the entire series, so please don't be surprised if I'm quiet
until the middle of next week.

If I spot any issues I'll reply immediately, but please poke if I
haven't said anything by Wednesday.

Thanks,
Mark.
