The whole thing works:

% grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown:Mitigation: PTI
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1:Vulnerable
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2:Mitigation: Full generic
retpoline

I bet the virtualbox modules compiled by virtualbox-dkms will taint the
support, but I bet sooner or later they will support retpoline as well.
(Another reason to switch to KVM one day.)

Thank you.
