Intel CPUs

This is annoying, it means rebooting all systems with Intel CPUs for which security is important and also ongoing performance loss for all modern systems with Intel CPUs. People who care about performance not security (EG gamers and people who mostly do compiles) could run in a less secure mode (run an old kernel or maybe a newer kernel patched to turn off this security feature). I guess the lesson from this and the previous security issues is to just avoid Intel CPUs. It's what Intel's CEO expects us to do.
