[v6,02/13] array_index_nospec: sanitize speculative array de-references

array_index_nospec() is proposed as a generic mechanism to mitigate
against Spectre-variant-1 attacks, i.e. an attack that bypasses boundary
checks via speculative execution. The array_index_nospec()
implementation is expected to be safe for current generation CPUs across
multiple architectures (ARM, x86).

Based on an original implementation by Linus Torvalds, tweaked to remove
speculative flows by Alexei Starovoitov, and tweaked again by Linus to
introduce an x86 assembly implementation for the mask generation.

Hmmm, shouldn't we include asm/barrier.h here? Otherwise users might or might not
use the optimized variant depending on which headers are included by the users
of array_index_nospec.
