Patch Set #14, Line 431: ENABLE_DDR_2X_REFRESH
It's tight to DRAM. […]
The point is that even on a device where the mitigation "should" be enabled due to hardware concerns, a (sophisticated) device owner should be able to disable the mitigation without rewriting lots of code (e.g. by setting a build time flag).
Nico's example is that the owner might know that the device is used in a trusted environment only - but really any other reason is valid: they own the box, they're in charge. If they break the computer, they get to keep the pieces (and this issue isn't even about breaking the device).
