Browse Source 
Add the mds=full,nosmt cmdline option.  This is like mds=full, but with
SMT disabled if the CPU is vulnerable.

This parameter controls the MDS mitigation. The
options are:
full - Enable MDS mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
off - Unconditionally disable MDS mitigation
full - Enable MDS mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
full,nosmt - Enable MDS mitigation and disable
SMT on vulnerable CPUs
off - Unconditionally disable MDS mitigation
Not specifying this option is equivalent to
mds=full.
