Maybe my babbling about LASS mitigation Meltdown was ill considered. It
seems that I've just muddied the waters.
All the real LASS-capable hardware also has RDCL_NO=1 which is the
_actual_ x86 Meltdown mitigation. Those systems are not vulnerable to
Meltdown in the first place.
They should say: "Not affected" for Meltdown, both before and after LASS.
