why?  Do you, or someone else, really care about spectre issues in 4.4?
Who is using ppc for 4.4 becides a specific enterprise distro (and they
don't seem to be pulling in my stable updates anyway...)?

I'll be glad to take these, just want to make sure that someone actually
will use them :)

thanks,
