Bug description:
  == SRU Justification ==

  Ubuntu kernels contain Meltdown and Spectre mitigations that are
  largely based on embargoed patches but what eventually landed in
  upstream is different in some places. We should clean up the different
  kernels to bring them closer in line with upstream.

  == Fix ==

  Add missing upstream patches.

  == Regression Potential ==

  Medium. The patches have been in upstream for quite a while now and
  are baked in but some of the backporting is not completely trivial and
  without risk.

  == Test Case ==

  TBD.
