3.16.58-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ingo Molnar mingo@kernel.org
commit 21e433bdb95bdf3aa48226fd3d33af608437f293 upstream.
Harmonize all the Spectre messages so that a:
dmesg | grep -i spectre
... gives us most Spectre related kernel boot messages.
Also fix a few other details:
- clarify a comment about firmware speculation control
- s/KPTI/PTI
- remove various line-breaks that made the code uglier
