From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com>

On CPUs with RRSBA behavior a guest using retpoline mitigation could
become vulnerable to BHI. On such CPUs, when RSB underflows a RET could
take prediction from BTB. Although these predictions are limited to same
domain, they may be controllable from userspace using BHI.

Alderlake and newer CPUs have RRSBA_DIS_S knob in MSR_SPEC_CTRL to
disable RRSBA behavior. A guest migrating from older CPU may not be
aware of RRSBA_DIS_S. Use MSR_VIRTUAL_MITIGATION_CTRL to request VMM to
deploy RRSBA_DIS_S when retpoline mitigation is in use.
