I talked to the security team. There is no reason to check for CONFIG_RETPOLINE != 'y' in Precise. CONFIG_RETPOLINE should always be set to 'y', even if the toolchain doesn't support it. There are minimal mitigations that we get even without toolchain support but for that we need CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled.
