Remove the "NetBSD-6" column, and add a note to say that nothing will get
fixed in NetBSD-6.

So far there have been no fixes committed by anyone for the !x86 ports,
and realistically even if someone were to commit them right now they would
require testing and too much effort to be backported as far as NetBSD-6.

   59: ## Mitigations
   60: 
   61: ### Mitigation A: SVS
   62: 
   63: Meltdown is mitigated with the SVS feature. It can be dynamically disabled
   64: by changing the "machdep.svs.enabled" sysctl.
