This appears to be OK on my CPU but want to ask to be sure.   Here's
some info, sort of taking cues from what you posted above.


root@fireball / # uname -a

Am I correct to think that "Mitigation" is good enough or does that mean
it could be affected in some other way or is risky?  Also, since the
problem that this thread is about isn't listed, mine isn't affected
correct?  I'm guessing "Not affected" means all is good.  ;-) 

Thanks much.  Just want to be sure my system is safe.
