[RFC PATCH 07/34] x86/bugs: Remove md_clear_*_mitigation()

From: David Kaplan
Date: Thu Sep 12 2024 - 15:10:27 EST


The functionality in md_clear_update_mitigation() and
md_clear_select_mitigation() is now integrated into the select/update
functions for the MDS, TAA, MMIO, and RFDS vulnerabilities.
