Thanks.

I think current release blocker board [1] is accurate.

For the update, IIUC, the MSR_VIRT_SPEC_CTRL fix-up is almost there, we
have 2 out of 3 patches already be reviewed (I will provide my release ack now).
Only the patch #2 needs some review from x86 maintainers.

For the other tickets, I am not really sure if there is any updates. I will 
raise
a topic to discuss in the community call.
