3.16.59-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings ben@decadent.org.uk
I noticed that in the upstream kernel PTI is exposed in /proc/cpuinfo and in the 4.4 and 4.9 stable branches KAISER is exposed similarly, but for some reason the backport to 3.16 hid it. Change to match the other branches.
