Subject: [PATCH 5/7] kvm: svm: pass MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD down to guest

Direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD is important
for performance.  Allow load/store of MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL, restore guest
IBRS on VM entry and set it to 0 on VM exit (because Linux does not use
it yet).
