Add direct access to speculation control MSRs for KVM guests. This allows the guest to protect itself against Spectre V2 using IBRS+IBPB instead of a retpoline+IBPB based approach. It also exposes the ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR which is going to be used by future Intel processors to indicate RDCL_NO and IBRS_ALL.
