KASLR is already broken on AMD systems. #1 is unpatched (AMD says "it doesn't directly leak memory", only the page table mappings, ie breaks KASLR) and #2 the PREFETCH+TLB-Evict combo is still unpatched unless you use non-default hardened configs (only mitigated by enabling KPTI which AMD recommends be disabled by default). #2 also allows a Meltdown-style attack which exfils data directly but hey, also breaks KASLR too.
