Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Speculation control improvements

A revised version of the dropped IBRS-firmware patch which now just
ignores the horrid hpwdt driver completely, and explicitly disables
preemption while IBRS is set.

Revised version of the IBRS_ALL patch with a typo fixed, revert another
broken bikeshedding patch, and add support for retpoline builds with
clang now that clang is fixed.

David Woodhouse (4):
  x86/speculation: Use IBRS if available before calling into firmware
  x86/speculation: Support "Enhanced IBRS" on future CPUs
  Revert "x86/retpoline: Simplify vmexit_fill_RSB()"
  x86/retpoline: Support retpoline build with Clang
