The AMD Zen4 core supports a new feature called Automatic IBRS.
It is a "set-and-forget" feature that means that, like
Intel's Enhanced IBRS, h/w manages its IBRS mitigation
resources automatically across CPL transitions.
The feature is advertised by CPUID_Fn80000021_EAX bit 8 and is
enabled by setting MSR C000_0080 (EFER) bit 21.
Enable Automatic IBRS by default if the CPU feature is present.
It typically provides greater performance over the incumbent
generic retpolines mitigation.
Reuse the SPECTRE_V2_EIBRS spectre_v2_mitigation enum.
AMD Automatic IBRS and Intel Enhanced IBRS have similar
bugs.c enablement. Add NO_EIBRS_PBRSB to cpu_vuln_whitelist,
since AMD Automatic IBRS isn't affected by PBRSB-eIBRS.
Also allow for spectre_v2=autoibrs on the kernel command line.
'spectre_v2=autoibrs,retpoline' and 'autoibrs,lfence' are
honoured but not required. AutoIBRS will also be enabled if
the =eibrs[,{lfence,retpoline}] variants are specified.
