    x86/bugs: KVM: Add support for SRSO_MSR_FIX

    Add support for

      CPUID Fn8000_0021_EAX[31] (SRSO_MSR_FIX). If this bit is 1, it
      indicates that software may use MSR BP_CFG[BpSpecReduce] to mitigate
      SRSO.

    Enable BpSpecReduce to mitigate SRSO across guest/host boundaries.

    Switch back to enabling the bit when virtualization is enabled and to
    clear the bit when virtualization is disabled because using a MSR slot
    would clear the bit when the guest is exited and any training the guest
    has done, would potentially influence the host kernel when execution
    enters the kernel and hasn't VMRUN the guest yet.

    More detail on the public thread in Link below.

+   This mitigation gets automatically enabled when the above one "IBPB on
+   VMEXIT" has been selected and the CPU supports the BpSpecReduce bit.
+
+   It gets automatically enabled on machines which have the
+   SRSO_USER_KERNEL_NO=1 CPUID bit. In that case, the code logic is to switch
+   to the above =ibpb-vmexit mitigation because the user/kernel boundary is
+   not affected anymore and thus "safe RET" is not needed.
+
+   After enabling the IBPB on VMEXIT mitigation option, the BpSpecReduce bit
+   is detected (functionality present on all such machines) and that
+   practically overrides IBPB on VMEXIT as it has a lot less performance
+   impact and takes care of the guest->host attack vector too.
