Yeah I have 60 min for it in the second half of Sunday.  If the sequence 
was the other way around (kernel BoF on Sunday and my discussion topic 
on Saturday) then we could have introduced the concept and then looked 
at some kernel mitigations during the BoF but that's not going to be 
possible now.

As a not-a-kernel-hacker here are a couple of topics I'd be interested 
in hearing about:

- Scheduler configuration, specifically cpu topology and how that 
affects scheduling

- Strategies for performance benchmarking inside guest VMs

I'll be attending a risc-v workshop next week, so I can consider giving 
a 10 min summary if that is of interest.  It totally depends on how much 
I understand of course ;)
