meltdown check

[paboldin]

Guys,

I have a PoC for meltdown that we may want to merge here. It reads kernel memory on my box (and 6770 as well): https://github.com/paboldin/meltdown-exploit

It can be downgraded to simply ensure there is side channel i.e. that speculative reordering pushes data to cache.

Richard is looking into that see his email on ML:

I've made him aware of this issue as well:

It would be probably best idea if you subscribed to the mailing list and coordinated the effort with Richard there.
