Subject: [RFC PATCH 9/9] x86/kvm/vmx: Initialize SPEC_CTRL MASK for BHI

VMMs can address mitigations issues in migration pool by applying
the needed controls whenever the guest is operating on a newer
processor. If a guest is using the BHB-clearing sequence
on transitions into CPL0 to mitigate BHI, the VMM can use the
“virtual IA32_SPEC_CTRL” VM-execution control to set BHI_DIS_S
on newer hardware which does not enumerate BHI_NO.
