Description

FreeBSD commit: ​https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/f4038696064b8626020cb176ebd564395b833795

This is to patch yet another CPU vulerability: ​https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/08/silent-windows-update-patched-side-channel-that-leaked-data-from-intel-cpus/

This looks like the simplest Intel mitigation yet, so there's no reason we can't apply it.
