Subject: [PATCH v4 19/36] x86/Kconfig: Arch attack vector support

ARCH_HAS_CPU_ATTACK_VECTORS should be set for architectures which implement
the new attack-vector based controls for CPU mitigations.  If an arch does
not support attack-vector based controls then an attempt to use them
results in a warning.
