Thank you both for the info.

Virt is an awful piece of sh*t when it goes and emulates all kinds of
imaginary CPUs. And AMD machine *without* an IBPB which is affected by
retbleed. Well, f*ck that.

Does that say somewhere on azure that those guests need to even enable
the mitigation or does the HV mitigate it for them?

Because I wouldn't mind to simply disable the mitigation when on a
hypervisor which doesn't support IBPB.
