AFAIU, the kernel work-around for Meltdown is /not/ mapping the kernel inside an application's virtual memory space. BIOS and CPU updates are the same. Intel makes a microcode update, and BIOS vendors integrate that to patch the CPU at boot. Is there a microcode update for Meltdown? I thought they were only mitigating Spectre.
