[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/spec-ctrl: Yet more fixes for xpti= parsing

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As it currently stands, 'xpti=dom0' is indistinguishable from the default
value, which means it will be overridden by ARCH_CAPABILITIES_RDCL_NO on fixed
hardware.

Switch opt_xpti to use -1 as a default like all our other related options, and
clobber it as soon as we have a string to parse.

In addition, 'xpti' alone should be interpreted in its positive boolean form,
rather than resulting in a parse error.

  (XEN) parameter "xpti" has invalid value "", rc=-22!
