IIUC it's not possible to opt out at this time (short of reverting the patches). Linus expressed some concern about it: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/3/797

What a tl;dr!

  Please talk to management. Because I really see exactly two possibibilities:
 
  - Intel never intends to fix anything

  OR

  - these workarounds should have a way to disable them.

  Which of the two is it?
