Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpufeatures: Add AMD-specific IBRS hint bits

Add AMD-specific IBRS-related hint bits to enable pass-through to KVM
guests. KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID masks capability bits that KVM does not
recognize even when host sets these bits. Making KVM recognize these
allows VMMs to pass through host values to KVM guests without
explicitly modifying KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID results.
