Bug#1017425: [PATCH] x86/speculation: Avoid LFENCE in FILL_RETURN_BUFFER on CPUs that lack it

From: Ben Hutchings The mitigation for PBRSB includes adding LFENCE instructions to the RSB filling sequence. However, RSB filling is done on some older CPUs that don't support the LFENCE instruction. Define and use a BARRIER_NOSPEC macro which makes the LFENCE conditional

structions, which should be conditional since they are part of SSE2. As a temporary workaround, disabling the Spectre v2 mitigation with the kernel parameter "nospectre_v2" should allow this kernel version to run on older CPUs without SSE2. We'll fix this properly in a later update.

at removing fuse doesn't remove anything else, this implies that the relationship is only a Recommends and not a Depends. But that doesn't mean that removal won't break anything.) If we find that it's not really needed, then a better fix may be to remove the recommendation(s) or change them
