minor is_cpu_vulnerable() changes (#71)
* correct is_cpu_vulnerable() comment As far as I can tell, the function and usage are correct for the comment to be inverted. Add a clarifying note as to why the value choice makes sense. * exit on invalid varient If this happens, it's a bug in the script. None of the calling code checks for status 255, so don't let a scripting bug cause a false negative. * no need to set vulnerable CPUs According to comment above this code: 'by default, everything is vulnerable, we work in a "whitelist" logic here.'
