Okay, I did a 'git pull' from Linus' tree and rebuilt. I _believe_ I
have the correct patches from this information:

localhost /usr/src/linux # git log | grep "Do not enable PTI on CPUs
which are not vulnerable to Meltdown"
    Fixes: fec9434a12f3 ("x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are
not vulnerable to Meltdown")
      x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown
    x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown

localhost /usr/src/linux # git log | grep -A8

    Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

    Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
     "Another set of melted spectrum related changes:
