It does not seems to fix much. 

I tried the tests from git repository
http://github.com/IAIK/meltdown.git 

This is Linux-centric, but at least, the "secret" case seems to apply on
NetBSD. It reports vulnerability before (cpu0: microcode version 0x58,
platform ID 1) and after (cpu0: microcode version 0x80, platform ID 1)
microcode upgrade.

And I do not have a spectre test case. Anyone has that?
