L1TF affects PowerPC of the same range as Meltdown-US.
I tested it personally:
google/safeside#52
and it is also admitted in the IBM report:
https://www.ibm.com/blogs/psirt/potential-impact-processors-power-family/
Similarly to Meltdown it is effectively mitigated by the rfi_flush.

PowerPC CPUs are vulnerable to L1TF to the same extent as to Meltdown.
It is also mitigated by flushing the L1D on privilege transition.
Currently the SYSFS gives a false negative on L1TF on CPUs that I verified
to be vulnerable.
