You can turn it off and on via a commandline flag.

No. The check is being made what CPU is underlying before applying the fix.

  Not yet. That patch hasn't been merged as of now.

    Probably because the method of checking is flawed and should be done in make/model (i'm no kernel expert but this is the general oppinion i've seen so far). I've seen nothing except the 'caution side lets do it with all' approach and no indication of other problems on the other hand.

You could just compile the kernel without it on?
