Severity: wishlist
Control: found -1 3.16.51-3+deb8u1

Dear Maintainer,

The backport of KPTI/KAISER to 4.9 and 3.16 lacks the pti CPU flag and 
the cpu_insecure bug found in /proc/cpuinfo in 4.14. While this does not 
affect core KPTI functionality, it makes it harder to determine whether 
a system is running with pti enabled without examining kernel logs.

Please consider backporting the relevant changes.

Regards,
Apollon
