[lfs-support] Meltdown mitigation in 32-bit kernel-4.4 LTS

[Paul Rogers]

I keep a functional 32-bit LFS-7.7 system available as an emergency backup. I have updated the kernel from 3.19 to the 4.4 LTS version and latest patches, 4.4.147. I have also updated to gcc-7.3 for kernel compilations. 32-bit compilations still do not have Page Table Isolation that I can find.

Correct. Looks as if this will be in 4.19, and then back-ported to
whatever kernels are still supported.
