+	  Compile kernel with the retpoline compiler options to guard against
+	  kernel-to-user data leaks by avoiding speculative indirect
+	  branches. Requires a compiler with -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern
+	  support for full protection. The kernel may run slower.

+	  Without compiler support, at least indirect branches in assembler
+	  code are eliminated. Since this includes the syscall entry path,
