spec_ctrl_ibrs has bit fields for internal speculation
control and is not exposed to user.
ibrs_enabled is reported to the user and takes the enum
values
+enum {
+ IBRS_DISABLED,
+ /* in host kernel, disabled in guest and userland */
+ IBRS_ENABLED,
+ /* in host kernel and host userland, disabled in guest */
+ IBRS_ENABLED_USER,

It is needed for places that potentially have more than one cpu
touching spec_ctrl_ibrs values. I'll see if I can consolidate
them to spec_ctrl.c to avoid the export.

Unfortunately, IBRS can have 3 different usage scenarios:
1. disabled all the time
2. used only in kernel and privileged code
3. enabled all the time in both user and kernel space.

Probably not necessary now. It is serialized by spec_ctrl_mutex.
