Since Qualcomm CPUs are all derivatives of ARM cores they all have
unique MIDR values. This means that the tables listing necessary
Spectre mitigations need special entries for them. However, those
entries are not present and that means that some Spectre mitigations
are lacking for Qualcomm CPUs.
I've made an attempt at **GUESSING** what the right patches should be
to enable mitigations for Qualcomm CPUs. This is mostly me searching
the web to figure out what ARM cores various Qualcomm cores are based
off of.
These patches get more and more sketchy as the series progresses and I
have noted that the later patces DON'T EVEN COMPILE. I have included
them to make it obvious that I think these cores are affected even if
I don't have all the right information to mitigate them. Hopefully
Qualcomm can come and fix this mess for me.
I'll note that I am certainly no expert on Spectre. Mostly I ended up
here running `lscpu` on a device and noticing that it thought that it
wasn't affected by Spectre v2 when I thought it was.
