Do people _really_ want per-mitigation compile-time controls? That
seems like kinda a pain.

I Boris suggested it, but it seems like a _bit_ of overkill to me.

Would a compile-time option that just defaulted _everything_ to
mitigations=off behavior work instead? That way we don't end up with a
billion new config options.
