Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86: vmx: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL


(Top-posting; sorry.)

Much of that is already fixed during our day, in 
http://git.infradead.org/linux-retpoline.git/shortlog/refs/heads/ibpb

I forgot to fix up the wrong-MSR typo though, and we do still need to address reset.
