My apologies for the delay, but basically metldown/spectre is probably
consuming *everyone's* free cycles on figuring out how the mitigation
will work. This has been the quietest freeze period I have ever seen
in my history working on the project.
Adhemerval, Would you be opposed to me reviewing this and committing
once the branch opens? Making it a feature of 2.28? I'd like to avoid
this commit so late in the freeze?
Cheers,
Carlos.
