I've pushed my work to the stretch branch. It builds fine on x86 and powerpc
after some fixes. When built with gcc-6 just uploaded to security-master,
retpoline is enabled:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2:Mitigation: Full generic
retpoline

Depending on the opinion, we can either revert the various ABI fixes and bump
the ABI, or try an upload as-is.
