[PATCH 0/3] x86/cpu: Fix SPECULATIVE_MITIGATION=n kernels

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Fix the handling of SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n so that it actually does
what it says it does: disable any and all mitigations.

And because I don't see a way to provide sane behavior for overriding
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n at runtime, explicitly disallow doing so via
the "mitigations" kernel parameter, e.g. so that the user at least knows
that their system is still likely vulnerable to a variety of issues.

Sean Christopherson (3):
  x86/cpu: Actually turn off mitigations by default for
    SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n
  x86/cpu: Disable BHI mitigation by default when
    SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n
  x86/cpu: Ignore "mitigations" kernel parameter if
    SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n
