3.2.101-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk
commit 66f793099a636862a71c59d4a6ba91387b155e0c upstream.
There's no point in building init code with retpolines, since it runs before any potentially hostile userspace does. And before the retpoline is actually ALTERNATIVEd into place, for much of it.
