Do we want to spell out the silly Intel acronym? I don't know how we fit it on the right side, but I do think we need to do it _somewhere_. We need the code to stand on its own to some degree and not subject the masses to reading the spec to understand the code.
/* Not to susceptible Rogue Data Cache Load aka Meltdown: */ #define ARCH_CAP_RDCL_NO (1 << 0)
