Log Message:
Clarify the parameters for the SpectreV2 mitigation.
Add:
machdep.spectre_v2.swmitigated
Rename:
machdep.spectre_v2.mitigated -> machdep.spectre_v2.hwmitigated
Change the method string, to combine both the hardware and software
mitigations. swmitigated is set at compile time, hwmitigated can be
set by the user.
Examples:
spectre_v2.swmitigated = 1
spectre_v2.hwmitigated = 0
spectre_v2.method = [GCC retpoline]
spectre_v2.swmitigated = 0
spectre_v2.hwmitigated = 0
spectre_v2.method = (none)
spectre_v2.swmitigated = 1
spectre_v2.hwmitigated = 1
spectre_v2.method = [GCC retpoline] + [Intel IBRS]
