We originally added spectre-meltdown-checker to lkft for informational
purposes, so that we could compare its report to any actual tests that
produce spectre/meltdown related failures (and help determine if the
problem is hardware/firmware or kernel). In practice, it's never been
helpful (because it's not an actual test) and so we'll be removing it
from LKFT.
