[Patch v5 04/16] x86/speculation: Add X86_FEATURE_USE_IBRS_ENHANCED

From: Tim Chen
Date: Fri Nov 16 2018 - 21:28:44 EST


STIBP is not needed when enhanced IBRS is used for Spectre V2 mitigation.
A CPU feature flag to indicate that enhanced IBRS is used will be handy
for skipping STIBP for this case.

Add X86_FEATURE_USE_IBRS_ENHANCED feature bit to indicate
enhanced IBRS is used for Spectre V2 mitigation.
