This one somehow slipped through the cracks... :-\
Ok, let's see: this could be relevant for the case when a module built with a compiler which doesn't support retpolines, gets loaded on a system which is built with retpolines.
Which is pretty seldom as the majority of setups out there should have a retpoline-enabled compiler. And should not allow loading external modules anyway, but that's a different story.
So, this close to the merge window, I'm inclined to delay this one after it and have it take the x86/urgent fixes path. Unless someone screams and says that patch breaks his system. I haven't seen any reports about it so far so...
Thx.
