Actually, the more I look at this, the more I see various intermittent reports with this and it is also impacting the mainline.
The problem is that the commit in question is causing a ton of messages to be printed a boot and this sometimes is causing the boot test to fail because the boot is taking too long. The console shows ...

There is a similar report of this [0] and I believe that we need a similar fix for the above prints as well. I have reported this to Ard [1]. So I am not sure that these Spectre BHB patches are quite ready for stable.
Cheers Jon
