TSC members

Initial update provided by Ben H. about Spectre and Meltdown.
- https://lists.cip-project.org/pipermail/cip-dev/2018-January/000796.html
Patch review of 4.4 LTS and security patches. New CIP kernel to be released this week, if everything goes as expected.
Mitigation patches for arm64
- Both compiler changes and kernel changes needed.
- We do not have the right contact for the compiler at this point.
- Ben H. question if ARM64 is in the scope of CIP at this point
Question from Yoshi: are there mitigations for the x_86 32 bit support
- Ben H.: nt at this point
- Jan: there are rumours about somebody working on it. It will take time. This is a use case interesting for CIP.

Question from Agustin B.: is there any specific impact on the -rt kernel related with Meltdown?
- Ben H. not that Debian has experience in the 4.9 -rt kernel.
- Jan: no conflict between the backported patches to 4.4 and the -rt kernel.

New system calls supported for 4.17 so in time for next LTS. The work is still not completed.
