As reported by Linus kernel 4.15 would have the spectre-meltdown fix,
Debian Sid just got 4.15 and I installed it on both AMD and Intel and then
I ran the spectre-meltdown-checker and Sid is no longer vulnerable to
Spectre-1,2 or 3/meltdown. It should be in Buster soon.

Debian Sid/Testing - KDE Plasma 5.12.1 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda8
Buster, after making sure buster was up to date and clean I added sid
sources and installed anything that was a new package or upgrade package
with the name linux and then removed the sid sources, clean and upgraded
I rebooted to the 4.15 kernel with no problem, ran the
spectre-meltdown-checker and was not vulnerable.
The AMD A8-7600 needed 12 packages, it has non-free nvidia driver. Not
vulnerable.
The Intel i7-3540 only needed 5 packages. Not vulnerable.
KDE Plasma 5.12 Desktop on both.
