UBUNTU: SAUCE: x86/bugs: Honour SPEC_CTRL default
CVE-2018-3639 (x86) Upstream implementation reads the content of the SPEC_CTRL MSR once during boot to record the state of reserved bits. Any access to this MSR (to enable/disable IBRS) needs to preserve those reserved bits. This tries to catch and convert all occurrances of the Intel based IBRS changes we carry.
