[Xen-devel] [PATCH v8 11/17] x86: Protect unaware domains from meddling hyperthreads

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Set STIBP behind the guests back if it knows about IBRS but not STIBP, and no
MSR_SPEC_CTRL protection active.

Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>

v7:
 * Move logic into a static inline helper.
