[PATCH v3 0/4] KVM: Expose speculation control feature to guests

Add direct access to speculation control MSRs for KVM guests. This allows the
guest to protect itself against Spectre V2 using IBRS+IBPB instead of a
retpoline+IBPB based approach.

It also exposes the ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR which is going to be used by future
Intel processors to indicate RDCL_NO and IBRS_ALL.
