[PATCH 0/3] x86/intel: expose additional SPEC_CTRL MSR controls



Hello,

Introduce support for exposing {IPRED,RRSBA,BHI}_CTRL feature bits and
allow setting the corresponding SPEC_CTRL MSR fields.

The bits are documented in:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/software-security-guidance/technical-documentation/branch-history-injection.html

Xen doesn't use the bits itself.

Thanks, Roger.
