Description

In #5318 , we introduced the ability to run testinfra over tor on production-like setups. During release testing on hardware, we manually run the spectre/meltdown tests (https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker/) to ensure the running kernel contains mitigations against these vulnerabilities.

In order to reduce QA burden, we should automatically run these tests as part of the testinfra suite. Furthermore, it will allow us to code around false positives due to grsecurity hardening described in #5040 (comment) the

User Stories
