Yes the internet claims are true and CSV2 is set. SANITY check logs in
here show ID_PFR0_EL1 - https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1138457/

I'm probably just being a noob here and am confused, but if CSV2 is
set then why do you need your patch at all?  The code I see says that
if CSV2 is set then we don't even check the spectre_v2_safe_list().


I am a noob here and didn't understand what Will meant ;). V2 posted now.

Thanks,
Sai
