IB/core: Add mitigation for Spectre V1
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845038 [ Upstream commit 61f25982 ] Some processors may mispredict an array bounds check and speculatively access memory that they should not. With a user supplied array index we like to play things safe by masking the value with the array size before it is used as an index.
