Re: [PATCH] x86/speculation/l1tf: suggest what to do on systems with too much RAM

There are people who care about L1TF mitigations. I am not going to
question their motivation. In any case a hint how to make the mitigation
active again sounds more useful than something that sounds as scary as
"you are vulnerable".
FWIW an early version of these patches automatically limited the available
memory, but Linus pointed out that people likely prefer their memory.
I still think his reasoning was right, and likely applies to your
message too.
