So, for my CPU with updated microcode:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 61
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz
stepping : 4
microcode : 0x28
cpuid returns:
0x00000007 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x021c27ab ecx=0x00000000
edx=0x0c000000
So bit 26/27 are set, which as I understand means IBRS is supported (but I
would appreciate any pointer to relevant documentation on this).

At least I didn't test IBRS/IBPB here. I could do it provided I'm pointed to a
tree with all the things to test.

Ok, good to know. Is the kernel support part for LFENCE in the same thread (I
have to admit I'm a bit lost).
