    1. There is confict in 4.15 and mainline seems already fix it, the final reason is that I don't have those affected cpu any more to verify. As it's not my own kernel code changes, I just use it, so it's time to let it go, :)

      Yes, this very conflict made me wonder. Thank you for clarifying it. Although still being dependent on my old machine, I don't need it to be tuned to the maximum (throughput). And then, the conflicting section in 4.15 covers the spectre/ meltdown work, and that work has much higher priority.
