From: Tim Chen The Spectre V2 printout in cpu_show_common() handles conditionals for the various mitigation methods directly in the sprintf() argument list. That's hard to read and will become unreadable if more complex decisions need to be made for a particular method. Move the conditionals for STIBP and IBPB string selection into helper functions, so they can be extended later on.
