Subject: [PATCH v2 21/35] x86/bugs: Determine relevant vulnerabilities based on attack vector controls.

The function should_mitigate_vuln() defines which vulnerabilities should
be mitigated based on the selected attack vector controls.  The
selections here are based on the individual characteristics of each
vulnerability.
