Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/speculation: Print error when mitigations are disabled
Date:   Thu, 15 Jun 2023 09:44:17 -0700
Message-Id: <20230615164417.3588162-7-leitao@debian.org>

If mitigations are disabled for MDS, TAA, MMIO we want to let users
aware. This is either disabled by "mitigations=off" kernel argument, or,
by CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n
