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).
