From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk
(cherry picked from commit fec9434a12f38d3aeafeb75711b71d8a1fdef621)
Also, for CPUs which don't speculate at all, don't report that they're vulnerable to the Spectre variants either.
Leave the cpu_no_meltdown[] match table with just X86_VENDOR_AMD in it for now, even though that could be done with a simple comparison, on the assumption that we'll have more to add.
Based on suggestions from Dave Hansen and Alan Cox.
