Subject: [PATCH v4 7/7] x86/speculation: Add basic IBPB (Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier) support

Expose indirect_branch_prediction_barrier() for use in subsequent patches.

[karahmed: remove the special-casing of skylake for using IBPB (wtf?),
           switch to using ALTERNATIVES instead of static_cpu_has]
[dwmw2:    set up ax/cx/dx in the asm too so it gets NOP'd out]
