Argh, CONFIG_RETPOLINE vs RETPOLINE :/
The thing is, the one you modify has a comment on that explains why it is i386 only. CET and retpolines don't like one another much.
And the x86_64 version uses %V which requires new GCC.
So I'm all for fixing the RETPOLINE_AMD thing, but at this point nobody should use the minimal stuff, that's just delusional.

Yes, that is exactly right -- it does that with or without your change though.
