Pull vmescape mitigation fixes from Dave Hansen:
 "Mitigate vmscape issue with indirect branch predictor flushes.

  vmscape is a vulnerability that essentially takes Spectre-v2 and
  attacks host userspace from a guest. It particularly affects
  hypervisors like QEMU.

  Even if a hypervisor may not have any sensitive data like disk
  encryption keys, guest-userspace may be able to attack the
  guest-kernel using the hypervisor as a confused deputy.

  There are many ways to mitigate vmscape using the existing Spectre-v2
  defenses like IBRS variants or the IBPB flushes. This series focuses
  solely on IBPB because it works universally across vendors and all
  vulnerable processors. Further work doing vendor and model-specific
  optimizations can build on top of this if needed / wanted.

  Do the normal issue mitigation dance:

   - Add the CPU bug boilerplate

   - Add a list of vulnerable CPUs

   - Use IBPB to flush the branch predictors after running guests"
