Start using the newly-added microcode features for speculation control on both
Intel and AMD CPUs to protect against Spectre v2.
This patch series covers interrupts, system calls, context switching between
processes, and context switching between VMs. It also exposes Indirect Branch
Prediction Barrier MSR, aka IBPB MSR, to KVM guests.
TODO:
- Introduce a microcode blacklist to disable the feature for broken microcodes.
- Restrict/Unrestrict the speculation (by toggling IBRS) around VMExit and
VMEnter for KVM and expose IBRS to guests.
