Are 64-bit guests an option these days? I don't see the lm flag in
/proc/cpuinfo on my VPS.
Am I right in thinking that a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit userland would
achieve Meltdown protection without the hassle of converting userland?
(Having recently crossgraded my home server from 32-bit to 64-bit Debian
I am a bit reticent to do so on my VPS. I got there but it turned into a
bit of a marathon.)
