Do we want to spell out the silly Intel acronym?  I don't know how we
fit it on the right side, but I do think we need to do it _somewhere_.
We need the code to stand on its own to some degree and not subject the
masses to reading the spec to understand the code.

/* Not to susceptible Rogue Data Cache Load aka Meltdown: */
#define ARCH_CAP_RDCL_NO		(1 << 0)
