Applied to 4.14.13 & built on 3 machines with different old CPUs
(Core2Duo, i5/i7 SandyBridge), current gcc 7.2.0 still without retpoline
magic (so syscalls only). Ensured CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled.

No regressions, no filesystems on fire, no spontaneous reboots.

Also gave this a syscall-heavy workout with iperf, still pushing >10 GB/s
locally just as before (within expected deviation). perf bench shows some
expected impact though, ~0.2-0.3 µs for scheduling.

cheers,
Holger
