Subject: [PATCH 3.16 004/131] x86/bugs: Read SPEC_CTRL MSR during boot and
 re-use reserved bits

3.16.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@...cle.com>

commit 1b86883ccb8d5d9506529d42dbe1a5257cb30b18 upstream.

The 336996-Speculative-Execution-Side-Channel-Mitigations.pdf refers to all
the other bits as reserved. The Intel SDM glossary defines reserved as
implementation specific - aka unknown.

As such at bootup this must be taken it into account and proper masking for
the bits in use applied.
