The sysconfig charm allows users to choose between pti=on and pti=off, but defaults to off.
I think the charm should do the opposite. This is for two reasons:
the Ubuntu kernel defaults to pti=on
pti is used as a meltdown mitigation strategy and as such it should not be disabled without the explicit consent of the operator. Having a default of pti=off will make several operators disable it inadvertently just by installing the charm
