[PATCH v3 2/6] cpu/bugs: Allow spectre_v2=ibrs on x86 vendors other than Intel

[Kim Phillips]

This is to prepare to allow legacy IBRS toggling on AMD systems,
where the BTB Isolation SEV-SNP feature can use it to optimize the
quick VM exit to re-entry path.

There is no reason this wasn't allowed in the first place, therefore
adding the cc: stable and Fixes: tags.
