[patch V2 28/28] x86/speculation: Provide IBPB always command line options

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun Nov 25 2018 - 13:57:45 EST


Provide the possibility to enable IBPB always in combination with 'prctl'
and 'seccomp'.

Add the extra command line options and rework the IBPB selection to
evaluate the command instead of the mode selected by the STIPB switch case.
