Geert Uytterhoeven a892d74963 cpu/speculation: Warn on unsupported mitigations= parameter ... commit 1bf72720281770162c87990697eae1ba2f1d917a upstream. Currently, if the user specifies an unsupported mitigation strategy on the kernel command line, it will be ignored silently. The code will fall back to the default strategy, possibly leaving the system more vulnerable than expected. This may happen due to e.g. a simple typo, or, for a stable kernel release, because not all mitigation strategies have been backported. Inform the user by printing a message.
