Subject: [PATCH 4.4 189/266] x86/bugs: Switch the selection of mitigation from CPU vendor to CPU features

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

commit 108fab4b5c8f12064ef86e02cb0459992affb30f upstream.

Both AMD and Intel can have SPEC_CTRL_MSR for SSBD.

However AMD also has two more other ways of doing it - which
are !SPEC_CTRL MSR ways.
