Subject: [PATCH 3.16 010/131] x86/bugs: Whitelist allowed SPEC_CTRL MSR values

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

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

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

commit 1115a859f33276fe8afb31c60cf9d8e657872558 upstream.

Intel and AMD SPEC_CTRL (0x48) MSR semantics may differ in the
future (or in fact use different MSRs for the same functionality).

As such a run-time mechanism is required to whitelist the appropriate MSR
values.

[ tglx: Made the variable __ro_after_init ]

Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org>
[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - We don't have __ro_after_init
 - Adjust context]
