The AMD Zen4 core supports a new feature called Automatic IBRS.
(Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation).
Enable Automatic IBRS by default if the CPU feature is present.
It typically provides greater performance over the incumbent
generic retpolines mitigation.
Patch 1 adds support for the CPUID_8000_0021_EAX leaf
that has the bit that identifies X86_FEATURE_AUTOIBRS.
Patch 2 adds support for Auto IBRS.
Patch 3 makes the Auto IBRS feature available for VM guests.
