Previously, the kernel command line parameter "mitigations=off" could be used but having this baked into the kernel code is the best way. Distro lackeys, of course, are using a kernel that is literally crippled with sundry mitigations. Tough luck, suckers. Make GNU/Linux Great Again! Quash those stupid mitigations!
