[RFC PATCH 5/9] x86/bugs: Use Virtual MSRs to request hardware mitigations

From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com>

Guests that have different family/model than the host may not be aware
of hardware mitigations(such as RRSBA_DIS_S) available on host. This is
particularly true when guests migrate. To solve this problem Intel
processors have added a virtual MSR interface through which guests can
report their mitigation status and request VMM to deploy relevant
hardware mitigations.

Use this virtualized MSR interface to request relevant hardware controls
for retpoline mitigation.
