Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] KVM: Expose speculation control feature to guests

Add direct access to speculation control MSRs for KVM guests. This allows the
guest to protect itself against Spectre V2 using IBRS+IBPB instead of a
retpoline+IBPB based approach.

It also exposes the ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR which is going to be used by future
Intel processors to indicate RDCL_NO and IBRS_ALL.

Ashok Raj (1):
  KVM: x86: Add IBPB support

KarimAllah Ahmed (3):
  KVM: x86: Update the reverse_cpuid list to include CPUID_7_EDX
  KVM: VMX: Emulate MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES
  KVM: VMX: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL
