This doesn't make any sense..
This change is used for x86_64 to have minimal Retpoline support when
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is defined but RETPOLINE isn't defined, or I missed
something?

No it doesn't.

#if defined(X86_64) && defined(RETPOLINE)

/* x86_64 retpoline goes here */

#elif defined(RETPOLINE)

/* !x86_64 retpoline goes here */

#else

/* !retpoline goes here

#endif

Sorry, but I am confused.
So where is 'if defined(x86_64) && !defined(RETPOLINE) && defined(CONFIG_RETPOLINE)' go?
In original code, it will go to "call *%[thunk_target]\n" while
we have set SPECTRE_V2_RETPOLINE_MINIMAL or SPECTRE_V2_RETPOLINE_MINIMAL_AMD. Is this expected?

Thanks
