[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/cpufeatures: Add the Virtual SPEC_CTRL feature

From: Babu Moger
Date: Tue Dec 22 2020 - 17:33:01 EST


Newer AMD processors have a feature to virtualize the use of the
SPEC_CTRL MSR. Presence of this feature is indicated via CPUID
function 0x8000000A_EDX[20]: GuestSpecCtrl. When preset, the SPEC_CTRL
MSR is automatically virtualized.
