Message-ID: <20190421142037.21881-28-mpe at ellerman.id.au>

From: Michal Suchanek <msuchanek at suse.de>

commit 815069ca57c142eb71d27439bc27f41a433a67b3 upstream.

Note that unlike RFI which is patched only in kernel the nospec state
reflects settings at the time the module was loaded.

Iterating all modules and re-patching every time the settings change
is not implemented.

Based on lwsync patching.
