Joe Konno pointed out that we now need the below line too, because we're
using MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD in this header.

With the existing code that's not a problem per-se, but my objtool
retpoline annotation things did do stumble over this.

Do we want to fold it into the objtool annotation patch or have it
separate?
