This update provides mitigations for the "L1 Terminal Fault"
vulnerability affecting a range of Intel CPUs.

For additional information please refer to
https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-273.html. The microcode updates
mentioned there are not yet available in a form distributable by Debian.

In addition two denial of service vulnerabilities have been fixed
(XSA-268 and XSA-269).
