Anyone working on the KPTI support for powerpc?

I assume some of the powerpc platforms would be impacted by the newly
announced meltdown/spetre vulnerabilities.  It will be good if we have
an aligned implementation of the KPTI.

Regards,
Leo

Hi Leo,

We aren't working on KPTI at the moment, but we did recently merge some
related changes:
