- Enable RETPOLINE by default. Note, however, this will
only be used if the compiler supports it.
- Enable sysfs interface for vulnerabilities

The 4.4.14 has a number of important fixes/additions:
- New support for retpolines (enabled but requires newer gcc
to take advantage of). This provides mitigation for Spectre
style attacks.
- Various KPTI fixes including fixes for EFI booting
- More eBPF fixes around out-of-bounds and overflow of
maps. These were used for variant 1 of CVE-2017-5753.
- Several KVM related to CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715,
CVE-2017-17741.
- New sysfs interface listing vulnerabilities:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities
The 4.9.77 kernel also has seems to have most/all of the above
back-ported.
See https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/744287/1fc3c18173f732e7/
for more details on the Spectre mitigation.

If the flag is set on push, then the image will have the license
set to enabled the currently experimental netsted virtualisation
feature. The flag currently also needs to be set on run to make
sure the right CPU model (at least Haswell) is selected.

This package is primarily for users of custom or foreign
kernels which may have drivers enabled for which the
'firmware' package does not contain the firmware blobs.

This new 'firmware' package contains the firmware blobs required
by the device drivers in a LinuxKit kernel. The list of required
blobs is determined by calling 'modinfo' on each module.
We also unconditionally include the AMD CPU microcode and the
licence files.

DOwnload and verify the Intel microcode package and convert it
to a cpio archive which can be prepended to the initrd.
It also adds the license file to the kernel package.

The iucode_tool is used to convert the Intel CPU microcode
binaries into a cpio archive. There is no alpine package
for it, so compile it from source.
This is for x86_64 only and on other archs we create a empty
file.

This is similar to ae64ab6b82 from #2849 which
did the same for runtime.mkdir.
This makes it possible to specify both host (absolute) or container (relative)
paths.
